Rail Safety Week is an important event for us, and this year, we have a special guest joining us. Meet the legend, Steely Stan, and his trusted horse. There are different stories about his whereabouts – some believe he resides deep in the Remutaka Ranges, while others claim he is a local of Mt Eden. Regardless, one thing is certain: whenever rail crossing advice is needed, Stan will be there to share the secrets of his 'Steely Stare'™.
