Just found this shot again,
From the collection of NZR publicity department.
Taken from a nearby hotel to show the yard area.
This was once part of the NZR line and was the location of TE ARO station.
Some of the buildings in the background still had tracks in the floor at this time, especially the vege markets in the next street which led to Cable Street depot.
The NZR still owned much of this land until privatisation.
The line continued from Lambton Station (Replaced by the present building) and ran side of road up to Te Aro, and even earlier had gone right round to Oriental Bay.
