"For a small town, Kawakawa has a couple of very big surprises for visitors.
The unique and colourful set of public toilets is one, but the other is literally show-stopping: a train that runs right down the centre of the busy main street, effortlessly halting traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian. It is, in fact, the only working train in the country to do this – just one of several notable claims to fame."

Does anyone know of other railways running down the centre of main Highways/ Main streets ? I know of plenty going down back streets etc , but this is NZ's S.H.1. Mind you , the amount of traffic is probably less than many back streets elsewhere.

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
