To push the importance of rail safety here in Manawatu we teamed up with KiwiRail to help spread the word to the kids in the community by inviting schools to visit our Feilding depot. We operated our 139 year old steam locomotive which was built in 1880 with two restored 1940\u2019s carriages. Our objective was to teach the younger generation about being safe around the railway tracks and follow the four main steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"399\" height=\"567\" src=\"http:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image.png 399w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-211x300.png 211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We had seven school groups visit us to learn about rail safety, while at our depot they were invited aboard the train to talk with KiwiRail Staff about Rail Safety and were able to ask a driver questions. Once they had their talk they went for a ride up and down the track in our Feilding yard.\u00a0 A demonstration on how long a train takes to stop was also displayed which was followed by a tour around the depot with all the current projects we are working on. As well as this we held our annual Open weekend on the 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0August which we also had KiwiRail Staff onsite helping to spread the Rail Safety word. Many thanks to everyone who helped spread the Rail safety message and all those that have visited us over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-1232x693.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190820_133419-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-1232x2190.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-608x1080.jpg 608w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20190821_135726-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-1232x924.jpeg 1232w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756-1440x1080.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/events.steamrail.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5756.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The society was invited to the official opening of Rail safety week at Parliament to help kick start promoting Rail safety.
