_The Evening Post_, 7 August 1924:
SEA TRIP BY RAILWAY
The #Hutt Valley residents who spend their working hours in the city had a lively experience this morning, for the #railway trip had about it some of the thrills and discomforts of a sea voyage in heavy #weather. The tide being high, water lay deep on some portions of the track, and the enginedrivers were cautious in traversing these sections for fear of the ballasting having been disturbed. But the passengers were less disturbed on this account than by the way the train was splashed. Every now and then a carriage “shipped a sea,” and the crash on the windows and the squirting of the water through the interstices above the frames, effectively interrupted the usual suburban small talk or digestion of the sporting news. Railway passengers have often wondered, no doubt, why there is a small swinging window at the top of the main “sash” in the railway cars, and especially why that little window will not close properly. Hull passengers can enlighten them. It is a device to break the force of the dashing waves by permitting the water to enter the cars and dowse the passengers.

Above is part of the line where the concrete-faced embankment has been entirely washed out…. Below can be seen the remnants of the rubble wall, faced with concrete, and the point where it broke, while the breakdown engine and gang has just arrived at this particular break in the line.
