Everywhere else that I can see train tracks is north or west of the Port Hills. If you were looking south I would have suggested Sydenham or Ferrymead... Tronhard ...

ECC233 Cream of the Crop More info | Yes ... you got it. It was the proximity that let me feel that a bit of straight track was legitimate. It is looking towards the Port Hills from the Riccarton Road (actually right beside Nando's Chicken Emporium). Ed
