Description: 11 scenes of crowds awaiting the arrival of the first rail car on the line at Pahiatua. They include one of the crowd on the Masterton platform; another taken from the middle of the tracks with the crowds looking towards the photographer; and another of a man addressing the crowd from the driver's compartment. A railcar of the type in the photographs was trialed in May 1936 but these images look as if they were taken later.

She describes working in Wellington at the Sanitarium Health Food vegetarian cafe, her marriage to Bob Woods, various events in their family life and their subsequent separation when she began working at the Odeon picture theatre in Auckland.
