Hwy 63
editThe claim that State Highway 63 crossed the station yard via a bridge at the northern end of the yard seems doubtful. The original highway bridge over the Hope River was more-or-less to the left of where I was standing when taking the photo (some remnants are visible in a satellite view on google maps), and slightly below the railway elevation. Almost certainly a level crossing -- a bridge over the railway is implausible, both due to geography, and, well, we're talking New Zealand 'roads' in the 1920's. --Zaqrfv (talk) 00:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- There is a photo of the bridge mentioned in the article in When Nelson Had A Railway, as well as a photo that was taken from the bridge. – Matthew25187 (talk) 00:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
