Putaruru to reopen train shunting yard due to cheese


Customs will do it in South Waikato so that trains with containers can leave from here to go directly onto the boats in Tauranga.

Looking at moving rail lines further south so trains in town will not force people 2.5 minutes to go around over bridge way says Mayor Sinclair.

The reason for the shunting yards is that Litchfield Cheese factory has limited train room.

What about opportunities for Tokoroa to back flush the trains to the new rail siding was not mentioned in full council meeting.
