Bay Express in the Manawatu Gorge The road, rail and river travel though the Manawatu Gorge. The Gorge as its commonly called is very beautiful, with trees lining both sides, with the rail on the northern side, the road on the southern side, and the Manawatu River down the middle. The gorge railway was opened in 1891, it consists of four tunnels, and many bridges. It once even had a rail siding to let trains cross in the middle. The gorge looks better than it has ever been with the bush now grown right down to the tracks. While regular steam locomotives worked though the gorge they tended to cause line side fires in the summer. Of course this has not happened for over thirty years and the bush has now become quite dense.
