One of Bayleys Whanganui Vintage Weekend s events is the ever popular jigger rides, put on by the people from SteamRail Wanganui.
On a 400 metre stretch of isolated rail, the gantry road, in Taupo Quay, just outside their shed, SteamRail folk run these track inspection cars for $2 a ride. They also have the shed open for people to see what the fuss is all about.
