The following extract, containing an interesting reference to the N. Z. Railways Magazine, is taken from a letter received recently by a New Zealand Railwayman from a friend in Tasmania:
“I feel I must thank you for the ‘N.Z. Railways Magazine.’ There is no doubt it has developed into a fine journal. The articles and pictures alike, are of a high order. We all take a keen interest in Ken Alexander, his contributions are right out on their own. There is a general rush for the paper when it arrives, to see who will get first turn at reading it, and after we have read it we all want to come to New Zealand.”
