The big bird with<br />
dreams to match<br />
• By Heidi<br />
Slade<br />
HUNDREDS of<br />
years ago, moas<br />
used to walk<br />
across the land<br />
near where Carly<br />
Waddleton lives.<br />
Now she has written<br />
a children’s book about<br />
a moa, to encourage her<br />
two sons and others to<br />
follow their dreams.<br />
Inspired by her sons Louis and<br />
Arthur’s moa obsession, Waddleton<br />
will launch her first book<br />
next Saturday.<br />
Dreams of a Moa tells the<br />
story of a moa that has a go at<br />
achieving its dreams, all around<br />
the world.<br />
“I wanted the book to be about<br />
encouraging everyone to give<br />
your dreams a try, even if you<br />
have challenges – like the moa, a<br />
bird without wings,” she said.<br />
“Not only for my sons, but for<br />
everyone else.”<br />
Waddleton and her sons often<br />
visited the Canterbury Museum,<br />
where they became “obsessed”<br />
with<br />
the moa, she<br />
said.<br />
“They were so<br />
curious about it.”<br />
Inspiration for the<br />
story was also taken<br />
from Waddleton’s own<br />
experience of being born with a<br />
heart condition.<br />

Vaping<br />
products<br />
stolen<br />
in store<br />
break-in<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
VAPING PRODUCTS were<br />
among items stolen from<br />
MetroMart Sumner Beach when<br />
it was burgled at about 3.50am on<br />
Saturday.<br />
A group of four people allegedly<br />
smashed a hole in the store’s front<br />
window, then proceeded to take<br />
majority of its vaping products,<br />
including the shelves the products<br />
were on, one of the store’s owners<br />
said.<br />
The MetroMart is on Wakefield<br />
Ave and had security cameras,<br />
inside and outside the store.<br />
The owner said it was hard to<br />
tell what kind of tool the burglars<br />
used to break in, however she said<br />
it looked like a hammer.<br />
Three of the four individuals<br />
came in and out of the MetroMart<br />
multiple times through the broken<br />
window, while the fourth sat<br />
in the vehicle outside the store,<br />
she said. The burglary lasted<br />
about four minutes.<br />
“They know what they’re<br />
doing,” she said. “(It) seems like<br />
they know the store.”<br />

The man who managed Lyttelton<br />
TŪRANGA’S upcoming Heritage<br />
Highlights delves into the<br />
history of Dr William Donald,<br />
the forgotten man of Lyttelton.<br />
Donald (1815–1884) was<br />
a doctor, surgeon, dentist,<br />
immigration officer, returning<br />
officer, resident magistrate,<br />
coroner, registrar of births,<br />
marriages and deaths and a<br />
Justice of the Peace.<br />
He was an administrator par<br />
excellence and prominent in early<br />
Lyttelton society, yet he seems to be<br />
often overlooked.<br />
City council head of<br />
libraries and information<br />
Carolyn Robertson said an<br />
event at Tūranga will offer<br />
the chance to explore the<br />
history of this man and the<br />
influence he has had on<br />
the development of early<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
Donald was elected chair of the<br />
first Lyttelton Municipal Council in<br />
1862 and represented Lyttelton on the<br />
Canterbury Provincial Council<br />
news<br />
from 1855–7.<br />
He was appointed medical officer<br />
for Port Cooper – now Port Lyttelton<br />
– to provide medical services to those<br />
preparing for the arrival of the first<br />
Canterbury Association ships.<br />
Following Donald’s death in<br />
1884, his life was celebrated by a full<br />
Masonic funeral.<br />
• Dr William Donald: the man<br />
who managed Lyttelton will<br />
be held on <strong>May</strong> 24, 10–11am,<br />
at Tūranga. Free, bookings<br />
required.<br />
Height of container stacks unknown<br />
The city council isn’t sure how high the shipping container stacks are at<br />
the Portlink industrial site in Woolston, despite there being an 11-metre<br />
building height limit for the site under the District Plan.<br />

Hundreds clean up waterways<br />
438 bags<br />
of rubbish<br />
collected<br />
THE MOTHER of All Clean<br />
Ups saw more than 1000<br />
volunteers collect over 2300kg of<br />
litter from waterways.<br />
The annual litter collection<br />
event on Saturday took place<br />
along the Heathcote River,<br />
Lyttelton harbour basin and the<br />
Estuary edge.<br />
Members from 55 community<br />
groups filled 438 large plastic<br />
bags with rubbish.<br />
Among the rubbish were 180<br />
large items, such as tyres, pellets,<br />
plastic Christmas trees and an<br />
old barbecue, Avon Heathcote<br />
Eastuary Ihutai Trust manager<br />
Tanya Jenkins said.<br />
“We saved 2370kg of litter<br />
entering our waterways during<br />
the event.”<br />
But Jenkins said she was<br />
disappointed the amount of litter<br />
collected had not decreased from<br />
last year.<br />
A goal of the clean up is to see<br />
the amount of litter collected<br />
each year get smaller, indicating<br />
there is less rubbish going into<br />
waterways.<br />
Jenkins said the majority of the<br />
litter they picked up was plastic,<br />

LeBron<br />
by Jeff Benedict<br />
LeBron is unquestionably the greatest basketball player of the 21st century. Off the<br />
court, LeBron’s political activism, outspoken stance on racism and social injustice<br />
have helped build a social media presence that includes 1<strong>17</strong> million followers on<br />
Instagram and 51 million followers on Twitter.<br />
He is an international brand worth billions of dollars. He doesn’t just have huge<br />
endorsement deals with some of the biggest corporations in the world; LeBron sits on<br />
boards of directors and has an equity stake in the companies he sponsors. He has<br />
forged a close friendship with President Barack Obama and clashed publicly with<br />
President Donald Trump.<br />
Benedict shows the initial slow rise of a star that suddenly transformed into a speeding<br />
comet during his senior year of high school. It is a unique and unmissable insight into<br />
one of the world’s greatest athletes.<br />

Nine Lives - Expeditions to Everest<br />
by robert Mads Anderson<br />
Robert Mads Anderson is an elite mountaineer with a solitary goal: to conquer Everest.<br />
After nearly getting killed on his first expedition, he led a team up a new route on the<br />
Kangshung Face without oxygen or Sherpa support, climbed solo on the remote North<br />
Face, and finally guided a team to the top of the world. Incorporating a<br />
who’s who of internationally recognised climbers, including Stephen Venables, Reinhold<br />
Messner and Chris Bonington, Nine Lives traces the story of Everest, from the big,<br />
nationally supported expeditions of the 1980s; through the small teams forging new<br />
routes and climbing solo; to the commercially guided expeditions of today.<br />
Set against the majestic backdrop of the world’s tallest peak, Anderson’s nine Everest<br />
expeditions over eighteen years define what truly drives a human being to the greatest<br />
of heights. With a foreword by Peter Hillary and 32 pages of colour photography, in<br />
Nine Lives Robert Mads Anderson offers his personal account of the world’s highest<br />
mountain.<br />

Night Traders<br />
by Armando Lucas Correa<br />
Four generations of women experience love, loss, war and hope from the rise of Nazism to<br />
the Cuban Revolution and, finally, the fall of the Berlin Wall in this sweeping novel from the<br />
internationally bestselling author of The German Girl. Berlin, 1931: Ally Keller, a talented young<br />
poet, is alone and scared when she gives birth to a mixed-race daughter she names Lilith.<br />
As the Nazis rise to power, Ally knows she must keep her baby in the shadows to protect her<br />
against Hitler’s deadly ideology of Aryan purity. But as she grows, it becomes more and more<br />
difficult to keep Lilith hidden, so Ally sets in motion a dangerous and desperate plan to send her<br />
daughter across the ocean to safety. Havana, 1958: Now an adult, Lilith has few memories of<br />
her mother or her childhood in Germany. Besides, she’s too excited for her future with her beloved<br />
Martin, a Cuban pilot with strong ties to the Batista government. But as the flames of revolution<br />
ignite, Lilith and her newborn daughter, Nadine, find themselves at a terrifying crossroads.<br />
Berlin, 1988: Nadine has spent her entire life avoiding the truth about her own family’s history. It<br />
takes her daughter, Luna, to convince her to uncover the truth about the choices her mother and<br />
grandmother made to ensure the survival of their children. And it will fall to Luna to come to terms<br />
with a shocking betrayal that changes everything she thought she knew about her family’s past.<br />
The Survivor<br />
how I Survived Six Concentration Camps and Became a<br />
Nazi hunter - by Josef Lewkowicz & Michael Calvin<br />
The extraordinary true story of the Holocaust survivor who endured six death camps<br />
before joining the hunt for the Nazis and bringing his tormentors to justice. The<br />
Survivor is an astonishing account of one man’s unbreakable spirit, unshakeable faith,<br />
and extraordinary courage in the face of evil. At only 16 years old, Josef Lewkowicz<br />
became a number, prisoner 85314.He and his father were separated from their family<br />
and herded to the Krak w-Plasz w concentration camp. Before the war was over Josef<br />
would witness the unique horrors of six of the most notorious Nazi concentration<br />
camps, including Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Ebensee. When he was liberated from<br />
Ebensee at the end of the war, Josef returned home to find that he was the only one left<br />
alive in an extended family of 150. Compelled by the need to do something to avenge<br />
that loss, he joined the Jewish police and was recruited as an intelligence officer for<br />
the US Army who gave him a team to search for Nazis in hiding.<br />

DEBUT:<br />
Carly<br />
Waddleton’s<br />
book,<br />
Dreams of a<br />
Moa, will be<br />
launched on<br />
<strong>May</strong> 27.<br />
Children’s book<br />
inspired by sons<br />
• From page 1<br />
“A lot of people are living with<br />
health issues,” she said.<br />
“In the illustrations, you will<br />
see that the main character<br />
actually has a prosthetic leg.<br />
I hope this subtle inclusion<br />
illustrates that anyone and<br />
everyone can go after what they<br />
dream of.”<br />
The book launch will be held<br />
on Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 27, at the<br />
Redcliffs Library from 10.30am-<br />
1pm, with support from the<br />
Canterbury Museum, which will<br />
be bringing in moa bones, a moa<br />
egg and other artefacts.<br />
Having the launch at Redcliffs<br />
Library was important for both<br />
Waddleton and her family.<br />
“We love living in this area,”<br />
Waddleton said.<br />
“The sense of community is<br />
amazing, and so it is important<br />
for me to hold the book launch<br />
here.”<br />
Originally from Lincoln,<br />
England, Waddleton moved to<br />
New Zealand in 2009.<br />
She has lived in Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
since 2011, where she met Megan<br />
Salole, the illustrator of the book,<br />
who happened to live just down<br />
the street.<br />
It took Waddelton and Salole<br />
about two years to finish Dreams<br />
of a Moa.<br />
“I think I’ve always known I<br />
was a writer, but I’ve just never<br />
given it the time,” Waddleton<br />
said.<br />
She began with poetry; her first<br />
poem was published when she<br />
was 8-years-old.<br />
But since having kids and<br />
reading to them, Waddleton<br />
said she realised how magical<br />
children’s books can be.<br />
• Dreams of a Moa is<br />
available from most<br />
bookshops or online at<br />
www.carlywaddleton.com<br />
• From page 1<br />
Among the items stolen were<br />
drinks and confectionery.<br />
But the owner said the vaping<br />
products were taken first.<br />
“(They) went straight into the<br />
vaping products.”<br />
She said they also attempted<br />
to steal cigarettes but could not<br />
access them, as they were locked<br />
away. The vaping products,<br />
however, were not locked up.<br />
The burglars also attempted to<br />
steal from the till.<br />
“They made a mess,” the<br />
owner said.<br />
She said the MetroMart<br />

about 9am and police were<br />
notified of the break-in at about<br />

a scene examination has been<br />
conducted and inquiries are<br />
ongoing.<br />

City council admits it doesn’t know<br />
height of shipping container stacks<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
THE CITY council isn’t sure<br />
how high the shipping container<br />
stacks are at the Portlink<br />
industrial site in Woolston,<br />
despite there being an 11-metre<br />
building height limit for the site<br />
under the District Plan.<br />
Nearby residents are upset<br />
and angry the city council is<br />
allowing container stacks up to<br />
six high on the land adjacent<br />
to their homes, but city council<br />
planning and consents boss John<br />
Higgins said the fact the council<br />
doesn’t know the exact height<br />
of the stacks doesn’t change the<br />
council’s view.<br />
“They are allowed to stack to<br />
six containers high at the moment,”<br />
he said.<br />
That decision was made by the<br />
city council in November, pending<br />
the outcome of a resource<br />
consent application.<br />
“I can’t see there’s been<br />
reference to an actual height<br />
(in the resource consent), only<br />
the number of containers,” said<br />
Higgins.<br />
Investigations by <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News show operators are stacking<br />
containers at least 11.6m<br />
high, with most up to <strong>17</strong>.4m.<br />
“The current situation is just<br />
temporary to allow the resource<br />
process to be completed,” said<br />
Higgins.<br />
The industrial park sits<br />
between the Ōpāwaho Heathcote<br />
River and Tunnel Rd.<br />
Residents to the east are also<br />
upset by noise at the site.<br />
High property developer<br />
Richard Peebles’ company<br />
Braeburn Property owns the<br />
land.<br />
After residents complained,<br />
Peebles lodged the resource<br />
consent application, asking to<br />
be allowed to build the stacks<br />
higher than the authorised 11m.<br />
He also wants permission<br />

industrial site two weeks<br />
ago, with containers<br />
stacked six high.<br />
Above – A 45G1 40ft-long<br />
high-cube container. It is 2.9<br />
metres tall, and promoted<br />
as the largest standard<br />
height container available.<br />
to store containers four high<br />
(11.6m) on some parts of the site<br />
designated for landscaping and<br />
stormwater.<br />
Peebles was approached for<br />
comment, but did not respond.<br />
Residents said the majority<br />
of containers on the site are<br />
40ft-long 45G1 ‘high-cube’<br />
containers, most common for<br />
international shipping. Each is<br />
2.9m tall.<br />
Resident Melissa McCutchan<br />
said eight stacks of those containers<br />
– directly opposite her<br />
house on Long St – were six high<br />
until the stacks were lowered to<br />
four a fortnight ago.<br />
Other container towers,<br />
opposite Gould Cres, were still<br />
stacked six high (<strong>17</strong>.4m).<br />
A city council environmental<br />
health officer visited the area<br />
on Friday, <strong>May</strong> 5 at 6.45am to<br />
monitor noise levels.<br />
McCutchan said operations on<br />
the site usually start from 6am<br />
but that Friday the site was quiet<br />
until 7.20am, after the officer<br />
left.<br />
The city council said no-one is<br />
forewarned when council officers<br />
visit, but its officers do sometimes<br />
use sign-written vehicles.<br />
Residents claim work often<br />
stops when those vehicles are<br />
seen in the area.<br />
City council head of regulatory<br />
compliance Tracey Weston<br />
said using a combination of<br />
(sign-written) pool vehicles and<br />
unmarked vehicles will continue.<br />
It depends on vehicle availability<br />
at the time, she said.<br />

Pou standing guard<br />
at start of pathway’s<br />
• Watch the video on<br />
starnews.co.nz<br />
cultural narrative walk<br />
THE FIRST OF several planned<br />
sculptures has been placed on<br />
the Coastal Pathway.<br />
The Pou, carved by Fayne<br />
Robinson, is located near the<br />
heritage tram stop at the start<br />
of the Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> section<br />
currently under development.<br />
Said Fayne: “This Pou serves as<br />
an entrance marker – a kaitiaki<br />
– to mark the beginning of the<br />
Te Ara Ihutai cultural narrative<br />
walk.<br />
“The Pou looks out to Rapanui,<br />
standing in acknowledgement<br />
of this significant site as a place<br />
of settlement, the shelter caves<br />
within Raekura (Redcliffs) and<br />
the many taonga that date back<br />
to early settlement in the region.<br />
“The Pou acknowledges the<br />
past and looks out to the future<br />
as a kaitiaki for the area for<br />
those presently here and those<br />
who follow after (Mō tātou, ā,<br />
mō kā uri a muri ake nei).”<br />
It will soon be joined by Flight,<br />
a large bronze sculpture from<br />
the late Llew Summers. Flight<br />
will sit along the pathway near<br />
the Mt Pleasant Community<br />
Centre.<br />
A small group of residents<br />
have been spearheading the<br />
fundraising campaign to buy<br />
the sculpture as a tribute to<br />
Summers, who lived and worked<br />
in McCormack’s <strong>Bay</strong>. Flight is a<br />
homage to the environment and<br />
the many migratory and coastal<br />

Pathway Group is also in the<br />
early stages of collaborating with<br />
Canterbury University’s Len Lye<br />
project to develop a large grass<br />
sculpture next to the pathway at<br />
Scott Park.<br />

Boat overturns,<br />
four rescued<br />
• By Nathan Morton<br />
FOUR PEOPLE were rescued<br />
after a boat capsized in rainy<br />
weather at Sumner Beach on<br />
Tuesday last week.<br />
The boat’s skipper, Simon England,<br />
said the small yacht was<br />
sailing fine until one of its three<br />
bungs went missing, causing the<br />
vessel to drift further into the<br />
open water.<br />
He said watching the rescue<br />
boat arrive was a moment of<br />
relief.<br />
“It was like ‘finally’, it’s what<br />
they’re there for and it’s good<br />
they found us quickly,” England<br />
said after being rescued.<br />
“I just said ‘thank you’ to them<br />
and tried to get everyone into the<br />
boat, get them warm.”<br />

HERALD<br />
While England was grateful<br />
to have the crew safe and sound,<br />
his boat isn’t likely to be as lucky.<br />
“I think the boat’s screwed<br />
with all the waves,” he said.<br />
“But we were just worried<br />
about getting people rescued<br />
– we’ll take care of the boat<br />
afterwards.”<br />
Coastguard Sumner Lifeboat<br />
skipper Heather McDonald said<br />
her rescue team had been called<br />
by police to help an overturned<br />
yacht on the bar.<br />
The four rescued people were<br />
mildly hypothermic, she said.<br />
“The water was about waistdeep,<br />
they were waving to the<br />
boat so it went straight to them.<br />
It was a quick response, we’re<br />
happy we found them quickly.”<br />

• By Darryl Baser<br />
A GROUP of Te Aratai College<br />
students overcame some big<br />
hurdles to compete at the<br />
national schools’ kī-o-rahi<br />
tournament.<br />
Kī-o-rahi is a traditional<br />
Māori ball game that has been<br />
described as a cross between netball,<br />
handball and tag rugby.<br />
Two staff members and the <strong>17</strong><br />
students from Te Aratai travelled<br />
to Rotorua for the tournament,<br />
but first had to overcome the cost<br />
of getting there.<br />
Assistant health, physical and<br />
outdoor education teacher Jesse<br />
Harding said each student had<br />
to raise $1000 through their<br />
sponsors.<br />
“The Kutt (a fitness club), here<br />
in Linwood, paid for our flights.<br />
We wouldn’t have been able to go<br />
without that help,” he said.<br />
Construction company Apollo<br />
Projects and the college also<br />
helped pay for the trip – but there<br />
were still a few more obstacles<br />
along the way.<br />
“Things started to get a bit<br />
scary when at 4am, I received a<br />
text from our airline saying our<br />
flight (8.25am departure) was<br />
cancelled.”<br />
The airline told the group<br />
they “could get some of us there<br />
tomorrow”.<br />
Principal Richard Edmundson<br />
came to the rescue, helping to<br />
get the group to Auckland in<br />
time for a connecting flight to<br />
Rotorua.<br />
Kī-o-rahi is played between<br />
two teams of eight (four male,<br />
four female) on a large circular<br />
field, with the teams swapping<br />

Students overcome challenges<br />
on road to kī-o-rahi competition<br />
PLAYERS: LJ<br />
Beattie, who<br />
was named<br />
most valuable<br />
player, and Leah<br />
McCallum-Simon<br />
were part of<br />
the Te Aratai<br />
College team<br />
at the national<br />
schools’ kī-o-rahi<br />
tournament.<br />
between defending the central<br />
pou (pole) and trying to score<br />
points by hitting it with the ball.<br />
All players wear tags which opponents<br />
try to rip off.<br />
Team members LJ Beattie, 16,<br />
and Leah McCallum-Simon, 15,<br />
said the experience furthered<br />
their knowledge of Te Ao Māori<br />
(the Māori world).<br />
Beattie, 16, won the most valuable<br />
player tane (male). “I used<br />
to play rugby league and touch,<br />
which has improved my passing<br />
catching and foot work skills.<br />
But, at the moment, I have been<br />
playing basketball, which helps<br />
in stressful situations when you<br />
can be stuck and not sure where<br />
to go (on the field),” the year 12<br />
student said.<br />
Year 11 student McCallum-Simon<br />
said: “It was good to be<br />
able to see the different things in<br />
Rotorua and being able to make<br />
my connection with everyone<br />
else in the team.<br />
“I play netball and I think that<br />
helps with vision as I know where<br />
other people are on the field. You<br />
do passes like in netball. Playing<br />
volleyball (also helps) because<br />
you do a lot of jumping and in<br />
kī-o-rahi you jump to throw at<br />
the tupu (goal zone) and do lots<br />
of explosive movements.”<br />
Harding was pleased with how<br />
the students represented the<br />
school. The school finished 25th<br />
out of 38 teams at the tournament.<br />
In September, Canterbury<br />
is set to host the South Island kīo-rahi<br />
competition during Māori<br />
language week. Te Aratai College<br />
is also set to play a hosting role<br />
at next year’s national schools’<br />
competition.<br />

Right – Landing one of the electric engines in Lyttelton, 1928. Te Ūaka The Lyttelton<br />
Museum ref. 14985.230 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1136027<br />
Back to the future of electric rail<br />
THE LYTTELTON rail line,<br />
connecting the port town with<br />
the city of Christchurch, has a<br />
long and varied history.<br />
The 2.6 km Moorhouse (later<br />
Lyttelton) Rail Tunnel through<br />
the Port Hills was opened in<br />
1867 and served as a critically<br />
important conduit for both passenger<br />
and freight trains from<br />
the volcanic harbour of Whakaraupō<br />
through to the Waitaha<br />
Canterbury plains.<br />
In the early days of the line,<br />
the steam locomotives ushered<br />
in an era of exponential growth<br />
through the late 1800s for both<br />
the port town, the city, and the<br />
wider Canterbury region.<br />
However, Victorian steam<br />
technology was not without<br />
its challenges, with the<br />
locomotives producing large<br />
amounts of smoke and soot that<br />
accumulated in the Lyttelton<br />
Tunnel. The growth in the<br />
use of the line led to reduced<br />
visibility, increasing breathing<br />
difficulties for passengers and<br />
crews alike, and public criticism<br />
of the outdated ‘smoke and dirt<br />
service’.<br />
By the early 1920s, with the<br />
growing population, a solution<br />
was needed.<br />
In 1925, the Minister of<br />
Railways Gordon Coates<br />
commissioned an investigation<br />
into the potential for<br />
electrification of the suburban<br />
networks in Auckland,<br />
Wellington, Christchurch, and<br />
Dunedin. The report concluded<br />
that, given the high volume of<br />
traffic and the unique challenges<br />
of the Lyttelton Tunnel, the<br />
Christchurch-Lyttelton line<br />
was a prime candidate for<br />
electrification.<br />
Previously, in 1923, the<br />
English Electric Company<br />
had constructed the EO class<br />
electric locomotives operating<br />
on the Otira section of the South<br />
Island’s Midland line, which included<br />
the Otira Tunnel. Similar<br />
to the situation with the Lyttelton<br />
Tunnel, the smoke from<br />
steam locomotives had been a<br />
significant issue that led to the<br />
decision to electrify the line.<br />
English Electric was thus<br />
entrusted with building the new<br />
electric locomotives for the 3ft<br />
6in (1067mm) narrow gauge<br />
Lyttelton line.<br />
Six EC class locomotives were<br />
constructed at the Dick Kerr<br />
works in Lancashire in 1928,<br />
bearing numbers EC7 to EC12.<br />
Mechanically, they were similar<br />
to the earlier EO class but they<br />
were designed with longer<br />
bogies, higher gearing for a top<br />
speed of 85km/h, and more powerful<br />
1188 hp (888 kW) motors.<br />
Their 50 tonne adhesive/gross<br />
weight was especially efficient<br />
in the 1-in-150 slope (0.67% gradient)<br />
of the tunnel ascent from<br />
the port.<br />
The electric rail service was inaugurated<br />
on February 14, 1929<br />
by the Minister for Railways<br />
W.B. Taverner at Christchurch<br />
Railway Station.<br />
The assembled crowd cheered<br />
as the first electric locomotive<br />
left for Lyttelton pulling a fully<br />
loaded train of ‘Midland red’<br />
passenger carriages.<br />
‘Juicing’ through 250 tons of<br />
overhead copper lines between<br />
the city and port – powered by<br />
the Lake Coleridge hydroelectric<br />
station via the new Woolston<br />
substation delivering 1500 volts<br />
DC at 900 amps – the EC class<br />
locomotives capably handled<br />
all freight and passenger duties<br />
from Christchurch to Lyttelton.<br />
Pulling freight trains of up to<br />
610 tonnes and passenger trains,<br />
including the Boat Train, up to<br />
406 tonnes, the service ushered<br />
in a new modern era of clean<br />
electric travel.<br />
By 1967, after almost four<br />
decades in service, the EC class<br />
locomotive fleet was nearing the<br />
end of its serviceable life. Operational<br />
and maintenance costs led<br />
to the decision to decommission<br />
the electric locomotives and<br />
replace them with more modern<br />
diesel counterparts. This change<br />
marked the end of the electric<br />
era on the Lyttelton line, with<br />
the last electric train making its<br />
journey on September 18, 1970.<br />
While EC8 to 12 were<br />
scrapped, EC7 was selected for<br />
preservation, with the Ferrymead-based<br />
Canterbury Railway<br />
Society taking custody of the<br />
locomotive in February 1972.<br />
EC7 became the first operating<br />
heritage electric locomotive in<br />
New Zealand when Ferrymead’s<br />
heritage railway, the country’s<br />
first rail line, was electrified in<br />
November 1988. EC7 still loads<br />
passengers in the same red carriages<br />
at the Ferrymead Park’s<br />
Moorhouse Station to this day.<br />
The shift from Victorian era<br />
steam to electric power was a<br />
significant move that improved<br />
efficiency, safety, and comfort for<br />
both passengers and crew.<br />
Likewise, the transition to diesel<br />
locomotives marked another<br />
important milestone in the history<br />
of the Lyttelton line through<br />
the later 20th century.<br />
In our 21st century, there is<br />
a renewed interest in electric<br />
rail, driven in large part by<br />
environmental concerns<br />
associated with the use of nonrenewable<br />
fossil fuels. Electric<br />
trains powered by hydro or<br />
geothermal energy emit far fewer<br />
greenhouse gases than their<br />
diesel counterparts, and New<br />
Zealand is well-positioned to<br />
take advantage of this trend.<br />
Whether tomorrow’s electric<br />
locomotives are powered by<br />
overhead wires or third-rail<br />
systems – or new technologies<br />
such as battery-powered trains<br />
and hydrogen fuel cells – it is<br />
quite possible we will be going<br />
back to the future of electric rail.<br />
