Islington siding
The new Waterloo business park entrance starts near GZ and this was one of the sidings into the Islington Freezing works.. They have incorporated some of the old track into a walkway/cycle way.. All you need to look out for are the walkers and cyclists as they are no longer connected to the main south line. There are still tracks in the road leading to this area. Please BYO pen and re-hide carefully.
From a blog
At Islington the excursionists transferred to two wagons hauled by the NZ Refrigerating Company's 1914 built Manning Wardle for a ride along the station yard. The little lokey then pushed back over the road and into the Works. The C can be seen in the background about to recouple to its train in preparation for the return trip.
A who's who of local enthusiasts can be seen in this and the previous photo.....recognise anyone?
