The railway workshops at Petone and Addington are particularly busy at the present time. From Petone there have been just turned out 10 cool butter trucks, which will be at once used on the Welling ton-New Plymouth line, as they are in tended chiefly for the Taranaki butter traffic. At the same workshops there are now in hand six bogie high-side waggons for the W ellington traffic, and four new horse boxes for the Taranaki-Wanganui section. At Addington orders were given some time since from the Locomotive Superintendent’s office for the construction of four tender engines of an entirely new type, with larger wheels, and capable of a higher speed than those now used. One of them is just completed, and the others are in hand. They are intended for the Christchurch-Dunedin express service. At Addington also there have just been com pleted five double bogie covered goods vans for conveying parcels and goods in small lots by express for roadside stations. At the same place a start has been made with the construction of five double bogie refrigerator vans for the frozen meat traffic on the Hurunui-Bluff section. They are to be finishedln about four weeks, and will be put into requisition immediately they are ready.
