  • Report 00-101 Train Control Incidents Hi-Rail Vehicles and Trains Occupying
    Report 00-101 train control incidents hi-rail vehicles and trains occupying the same section of track and a collision various localities 17 December 1999 – 5 September 2000 Abstract On 17 December 1999, an incident occurred near Greymouth where a locomotive engineer was given permission by train control for his train to enter a section of track already occupied by a hi-rail vehicle. The driver of the hi-rail vehicle saw the train and was able to off-track in time to avert a collision. On 17 January 2000, train control gave permission for a group of hi-rail vehicles to on-track near Paerata in front of a passenger express train. The train collided with one of the hi-rail vehicles and pushed it some 300 m along the track. The hi-rail vehicle, which was unoccupied at the time, was destroyed in the collision. Another 2 incidents occurred where train control gave permission for trains to enter sections of track occupied by hi-rail vehicles: one on 14 February 2000 near St Andrews, and one on 5 September 2000 near Woodville. Neither of these 2 incidents resulted in collisions. Given the similar issues arising from each incident, all 4 were combined into this one report. Safety issues identified included: · the repeated non-adherence to basic train control techniques taught during training and covered by procedures in the operating code · inadequate auditing and assessment of train controller performance · train controllers not using, nor being required to use, signal “blocking commands” as a defence against them issuing conflicting instructions to track users · the potential for train controllers to report for duty when not fit to do so.

  • Report 07-103, Passenger Express Train 200, Collision with Stationary Passenger Express Train 201, National Park, 21 March 2007
    Report 07-103, passenger express Train 200, collision with stationary passenger express Train 201, National Park, 21 March 2007 The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is an independent Crown entity established to determine the circumstances and causes of accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. Report 07-103 passenger express Train 200 collision with stationary passenger express Train 201 National Park 21 March 2007 Abstract On Wednesday 21 March 2007, passenger express Train 200 collided with the rear of stationary passenger express Train 201 during a planned setback manoeuvre at National Park when radio communication failed. One passenger travelling in the rear passenger carriage on Train 200 received a minor injury. The buffer at the rear of the train was damaged. A safety issue identified was the reliance, during the setback movement, on a single line of communication between the locomotive engineer and the train manager piloting the train from the rear carriage. Safety actions have been taken to address the safety issue.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Nineteenth-Century Californian and New Zealand Newspaper Representations of Chinese Gold Miners
    Journal of American-East Asian Relations 18 (2011) 248–273 brill.nl/jaer A Comparative Analysis of Nineteenth-Century Californian and New Zealand Newspaper Representations of Chinese Gold Miners Grant Hannis Massey University Email: [email protected] Abstract During the nineteenth-century gold rush era, Chinese gold miners arrived spontaneously in California and, later, were invited in to work the Otago goldfi elds in New Zealand. Th is article considers how the initial arrival of Chinese in those areas was represented in two major newspapers of the time, the Daily Alta California and the Otago Witness . Both newspapers initially favored Chinese immigration, due to the economic benefi ts that accrued and the generally tolerant outlook of the newspapers’ editors. Th e structure of the papers’ coverage diff ered, however, refl ecting the diff ering historical circumstances of California and Otago. Both papers gave little space to reporting Chinese in their own voices. Th e newspapers editors played the crucial role in shaping each newspaper’s coverage over time. Th e editor of the Witness remained at the helm of his newspaper throughout the survey period and his newspaper consequently did not waver in its support of the Chinese. Th e editor of the Alta , by contrast, died toward the end of the survey period and his newspaper subsequently descended into racist, anti-Chinese rhetoric. Keywords Gold Rush , Chinese gold miners , Daily Alta California , Otago Witness , content analysis , Chinese in California , Chinese in New Zealand A dramatic change in the ethnic mix of the white-dominated western United States occurred in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the sudden infl ux of thousands of Chinese gold miners.

  • James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?
    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

    Getting home faster, cheaper, greener. The Green Party’s vision for Wellington region will make life easier, giving you more choices and saving you money. Our plan builds on Wellington’s strengths. Many people already walk and cycle, and Wellington region's public transport use is the highest in New Zealand. Our region also has compact walkable city centres, and geography that makes urban sprawl less feasible. Our plan will get you home faster, more safely, with more choice and less cost. We will: • Make cycling and walking safer and easier. • Lower fares and vastly improve rail and bus services. • Improve road safety for everyone. We’ll also support smart planning, good urban design, and faster, cheaper broadband to help reduce your need to travel. Our region will be an even better place to live with: • Less time in traffic jams and more room on the roads for essential travel. • More choice for people and businesses in the face of higher oil prices. • Healthier lifestyles, cleaner air and reduced carbon emissions. Background and issues Better transport options for Kiwis is a Green Party priority. The Green Party negotiated the first-ever national fund to support walking and cycling. Here in Wellington, the Greens have already saved Wellington’s iconic trolley buses, and helped secure funding for new passenger trains for the regions rail services. We even saved the Overlander train between Wellington and Auckland. But there is much more to do. Our world is changing. Within twenty years, climate change will be affecting all of our lives dramatically, with severe weather events like droughts and 1 storms becoming more frequent.

  • 12. New Zealand War Correspondence Before 1915
    12. New Zealand war correspondence before 1915 ABSTRACT Little research has been published on New Zealand war correspondence but an assertion has been made in a reputable military book that the country has not established a strong tradition in this genre. To test this claim, the author has made a preliminary examination of war correspondence prior to 1915 (when New Zealand's first official war correspondent was appointed) to throw some light on its early development. Because there is little existing research in this area much of the information for this study comes from contemporary newspaper reports. In the years before the appointment of Malcolm Ross as the nation's official war correspondent. New Zealand newspapers clearly saw the importance of reporting on war, whether within the country or abroad and not always when it involved New Zealand troops. Despite the heavy cost to newspapers, joumalists were sent around the country and overseas to cover confiiets. Two types of war correspondent are observable in those early years—the soldier joumalist and the ordinary joumalist plucked from his newsroom or from his freelance work. In both cases one could call them amateur war correspondents. Keywords: conflict reporting, freelance joumaiism, war correspondents, war reporting ALLISON OOSTERMAN AUT University, Auckland HIS ARTICLE is a brief introduction to New Zealand war correspondence prior to 1915 when the first official war correspon- Tdent was appointed by the govemment. The aim was to conduct a preliminary exploration ofthe suggestion, made in The Oxford Companion to New Zealand military history (hereafter The Oxford Companion), that New Zealand has not established a strong tradition of war correspondence (McGibbon, 2000, p.

  • New Zealand Families, Duty, and the First World War
    AN UNBROKEN CONNECTION? NEW ZEALAND FAMILIES, DUTY, AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR BY RACHEL PATRICK A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2014. ii iii In loving memory of my father Ross Alexander Patrick, 6 May 1946 – 3 December 2013 iv v ABSTRACT This thesis explores the topic of families during the First World War through a single New Zealand family and its social networks. The family at the core of the thesis, the Stewarts, were a well-to-do Dunedin family who moved in the most exclusive circles of colonial society. As members of the elite, and as prominent figures in the leadership of wartime patriotic organisations, they conceived of their wartime role as one of public benevolence and modelling patriotic virtue for others. Yet, like countless other families, their personal lives were shattered by the war. Drawing upon the extensive records left behind by the Stewart family, as well as associated archives, the thesis advances a number of larger arguments. It is the overarching claim of this study that families – in their emotional, material and symbolic manifestations – formed an integral part of the war experience and provide a significant way of understanding this global event and its devastating human consequences. The Stewart family’s extensive surviving archive of personal correspondence provides a window into the innermost emotions, beliefs and values of the family’s individual members. Episodes in their wartime lives shape the wider thesis themes: the impact of family separations, grief and bereavement, religious faith, duty and patriotism, philanthropy, the lingering shadow of war disability – and the inflection of all of these by gender and class.
