road and rail routes through Paekakariki

 

A well-known viewpoint at the top of the Paekakariki Hill Road, looking north. The station visible in the middle of the pic was the northern terminus of the electrification from Wellington from 1940 to 1983.  The main road along the coast was also completed in 1940, replacing the Hill Road which has since been just a local road.  For lots more, see the book Wellington Transport Memories.
