Beech Forest Railway To Add Cattle And Sheep Trucks
The railway department plans to supply additional cattle and sheep trucks for the line. This should ease heavy stock transport previously hindered by poor roads and groan under heavy loads. Local council actions to limit road weight are expected to have little positive effect. Rev W Hollie, now transferred to Hamilton, will be succeeded by Mr Coldwell. A consignment of locally grown vegetables was sent to the State Governor.
