At the time of this photograph the Palmerston North railway station and yards were in Main Street, just down from The Square. Percy Humpries (left) and Andre Zentveld are show here 'cleaning the points' in the Palmerston North railway yard near the old weighbridge. The buildings on the left consist of the weighbridge, goods office and goods shed.
