Back in the days the old train that runs Taumarere use to transport coal to ships.But now it cant go over the brige to opua. There also where coal mines that gave coal to the train but now there no more coal mines i wonder why are there no more coal maybe it is because gas is being used in more things like cars or gas heater.
