Anti-tank railway barrier
Anti-tank railway barrier
According to Ian Hill of the Department of Conservation, this structure on the former Little River railway line was built during the Second World War as a means of preventing enemy tanks from using the line. The addition of metal rails would have forced a tank approaching from Birdlings Flat to divert into the marshy lowland on either side of the railway embankment.
