Otago Central Railway [55]: Poolburn Deviation

Information from a file held in Archives New Zealand's Wellington office was forwarded to me today. This is just 2 pages referring to the need for a deviation at 102 miles and the approval from the General Manager of Railways for the deviation to be carried out. The date of the approval is 1909, five years after opening the line. The alteration does not appear to be marked on the chainage charts I have.
