Petone in 1910


Another photo of Petone (see earlier posts for more), this shows a Baldwin (USA)-built Wd-hauled passenger train for Wellington at the platform.  The long-time main commercial street of Jackson Street at left is still not fully developed at this stage.  Presumably the "Empire Carriage Factory" opposite the station made the horse-drawn variety.
