One Killed by Train in Ohau, New Zealand

The Christchurch Tramway recently opened a long-awaited track extension. The extension will add another 500 meters (roughly one-third mile) to the current 4.5-kilometer (roughly 2.8-mile) circuit.

The service resumes two years after the service was put on hold because of the devastating Kaikoura earthquake.

Workers installed a new scissor track crossing at the eastern end of the Britomart tunnel and replaced worn-out rail between Newmarket and the city.
