- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 am – Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 am (+13:00)
- **Event Description**: KiwiRail and Cross Creek Railway Society are putting on a free sausage sizzle and miniature train rides to celebrate the installation of historic searchlight signals! Come along to Clifford Square on Sunday 22 March between 1 – 3pm.  

Two historic rail signals have been given a new lease of life in Featherston. After 80 years of service at Featherston Station, the signals have been rehomed with the town’s miniature railway – Cross Creek Railway Society.  

The miniature railway at Clifford Square has been operating since 1999, using hand-held flags for signalling (green for go, red for stop). The arrival of our retired signals marks a significant upgrade for the miniature railway.  

Cross Creek Railway is run entirely by volunteers, with activities and events happening every Saturday over the daylight-saving period, offering miniature train rides to members of the community and visitors passing through town.  

Thanks to the assistance of South Wairarapa District Council and Better Hire, who helped facilitate the transport and installation of the signals to their new home. It was a true community effort that ensured this important part of Featherston’s rail history remains in the area for everyone to enjoy.
