Johnsonville Line Train Stops

In advance of the down departure signals at Khandallah, Ngaio and Wadestown are mechanically operated train-stops. These apply the train brakes if the points are set for the safety siding.

The other train-stops in the Wellington area, including one of two at Wadestown (used for speed control), are electrically operated. The mechanical train-stops rotate about an axis that is parallel to the rails, unlike the electric version which have an axis at right angles to the rails.
