Te Kuiti
Between Taumarunui and 
Te Kuiti
 falls
The land
 again
Back into deep no-road bush valley
And the rain comes in hard on the train
Te Kuiti Station is now 
 the community Medical Centre, pai ora
Otorohanga
At Otorohanga, near the dilapidated but beautiful old station 
the overhead wires of the electric engine 
were struck by lightning and they had to 
wait for three hours for a replacement diesel 
to arrive . . .
It was a good thing
There was ample
Food on board for
 the journey had become ‘torohanga’ indeed
