The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 3, Issue 1 (May 1, 1928)
[section]
The institution some years ago of a general conference of officers representative of the railway systems in Australia and New Zealand has been attended with much benefit to the States concerned.
In view of the isolation of the New Zealand lines from those of other countries, these conferences should prove valuable to this Dominion, and all the members who have attended the conferences have gained most useful information.
Mr. G. S. Lynde, O.B.E., A.M.I.Mech.E., M.I.Loco.E., Chief Mechanical Engineer, who was selected to be chairman of the conference this year, was the only representative from New Zealand who attended, and on being interviewed on behalf of this Magazine gave some interesting details of his visit.
