Public enjoy jigger rides with SteamRail Wanganui 28 Jan, 2021 07:59 PM Quick Read Taking a jigger ride on the Gantry Road. Paul Brooks is editor of Whanganui Midweek, in your letterbox every Wednesdaypaul.brooks@nzme.co.nz 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. Father and son Jamie and Hamish Coull were there, tinkering with trolleys before the event. Hamish's little dog Chi was also helping.
