Keith Turuwhaenua is KiwiRail's longest-serving current employee, and one of only a handful of staff aged over 75. On Saturday he celebrated 60 years on the job - and the 76-year-old says he still enjoys getting up every day to head to work.
Turuwhaenua got the job after his grandfather encouraged him to move to Wellington to complete a trade training programme run by the Government's Māori Affairs department in 1961 when he was 16.
He has worked out of KiwiRail's mechanical depot in Thorndon, where he's currently based, for much of his career but also worked at the workshop in Woburn, Lower Hutt, for a time.

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information.
