J1209 and A423 at Greymouth Riverside
Although carriages had been removed from West Coast goods trains in 1967 train 761 still had a car-van attached in February 1969.
I thought at the time there may have been a shortage of guard's vans but later learnt the carriage was used by upcountry children needing a ride to and from school.
