Unique Record of Railway Service

Unique Record of Railway Service

A further interesting case of father and son being on the retired list of the New Zealand Railways Department has just come to our notice. It is that of Mr. Chas. Cleverley and his son. Mr. Cleverley Senior joined the Service in the early days and had charge of the first official train to run between Dunedin and Oamaru. He retired 25 years ago from the position of Goods Foreman at Oamaru, where he is still living. His son, Mr. H. Cleverley, after 38 years’ service recently retired at Greymouth, where he was Inspector of Permanent Way. The family tradition of service is being carried on by Mr. F. C. Cleverley, son of Mr. H. Cleverley. He is Stationmaster at Kohatu, Nelson, and has 17 years’ service to his credit.
