Жыл бұрынThe Addington Railway Workshops had opened in Christchurch in 1879 to assemble locomotives imported from England; the first built entirely in New Zealand was completed in 1889. The workshops closed in 1990, not long after after this item went to air. This video is from Simon Williams' collection of news stories that he created for "The Mainland Touch" back in the 1980s.

The same thing happened to the massive great western railway workshops at Swindon in the mid 80's under general sir Maggie Thatcher when British rail engineering limited announced that much of the huge complex was being shut down. Swindon built many of the Great western locos and both freight and passenger rolling stock. The announcement came in the midst of G.W.R 150 yr celebrations. Many events were planned including events at Swindon,but were forced to be abandoned following the announcement.
