Steam locomotive JA1211 was seen here running alongside Westshore Beach in the rain as it started a day trip to Wairoa.

Then in keeping with the train theme a truck and train came together in Ahuriri. Photos on NZPA.

The rain that had been falling all day contributed to a few MVC’s on the wet, slippery roads. A two car collision in Waiohiki Road caused congestion late this afternoon.
