    Report 
  • SHUNTER'S DEATH

    Two of four shunters walking to work in the railway yards before daylight on August 18 were struck by an engine and wagon moving in reverse, while their attention was fixed on another train approaching them on the track next to the one carrying the wagon which struck them. They were walking between the two tracks, and visibility was bad because of the steam and smoke in the yard. One of the shunters was thrown clear of the track and was uninjured, but the other, Albert Hepi Moanariki Rankin, 50, received severe injuries in the lower part of his body and he died in the Wellington Hospital shortly after he was taken there.
