Splendid picture, Graeme. The same shot is printed in Geoffrey Churchman's book
on the Wellington-Johnsonville Railway (attributed to the Turnbull Library) but
a lot more detail can be got out of yours..
I'd like to say that I can see both trolley overheads, but in fact can make out
only the one on the right. And shall have to take your word for it that the
tiny vehicle is the trackless tram.

This picture I sent to Richard de Armond's trolley bus site quite a while ago.
Taken in the early 30's shows Wellington from a point near Kiawharawhara, which would be behind the viewer.
The camera is facing South looking towards Thorndon.
