New Zealand ~ Seek railway ID.

I have cancelation "OTARI RAILWAY" (4th Oct 2002) which I cannot
locate any info.
I noticed in SG "Collect Railways on stamps" that Tramways are included,
and wondered if perhaps Otari has a tramway.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Hello Rod.

This is a just-in-case offer !!!
If your cancellation is not 100% clear and definite, I know there is an
OTAKI RAILWAY in New Zealand. If, on the other hand, your cancel is
definitely OTARI, then please ignore.

Ahhh Tony,
what colour is vermillion?
I am looking in the mirror and the reflection is of a similar hue

You are most observant and very helpful.
Thanks a bunch.

The growing Otaki Railway Shops complex
undoubtedly supplies a lot of mail bearing this cancel.

Otaki is the town - the former railway station building is now host to a
stamp dealer. As with others their mail often uses old stock for postage.

All was revealed!
thanks Blair, Gazza.

My example was a multiple stamp cut piece.

Neat 360 degree vision of Otaki, could be any minor
town in Australia too, very similar views.
