Introduction
In creating this section in the wiki, we are well aware that it can become very large and complex, what are Railway People? To keep things simple at this stage, we must straightaway divide this section into two; NZR Employees and anyone else that has been involved with a rail service of any type. Due to its size, complexity and unique organisation, NZR Employees will be dealt with as a separate and undoubtedly the main group of People, accessible by clicking the button below.
The rest of this page then, and all of its other sub-pages, will deal with railway people other than NZR staff. You may well ask and who would that be, well we have lots of possibilities, remember, this site caters for all rail activity in New Zealand including Private Railways, Private Sidings, Municipal Tramways and bush tramways and industrial trams (mining, logging, construction etc), so the scope for other people is quite extensive. As others develop interests in these branches of research, no doubt names of those who worked them will want to be recorded with the foundation for that having been laid down with the following two categories.
Once we take the above three groups out, we are left with 'the rest', something much more manageable and at this stage includes Relatives (of any of the above groups), Contractors, Engineers, Visitors and Dignitaries. To warrant inclusion, these people have to have some direct connection, which would more than likely be in a photograph or portion of text. An example would be HM Queen Elizabeth II who would appear on a good number of photographs during the 1953 (and later) tour(s) which also showed railway features.
