Stephen introduced his brother-in-law Fergus Moffat. Fergus grew up on the family farm in South Otago and attended South Otago High School. Farming wasn't for him but a fascination with trains lead him to joining the railways in 1970. He was amongst the last cohort to obtain a steam ticket. Fergus transferred to Ranfurly, later to Taumaranui and then Wellington. In 1981 he moved to Port Headland driving trains for a mining company. He then moved to Perth and worked as a private contractor in Western Australia. Fergus's next move was to Malaysia to operate a tourist train. He then joined Orient to operate the Great Australian Express. The SARS pandemic caused a tourist downturn and the mothballing of the Express. Fergus was asked to become a transport safety investigator in Melbourne. He has been in this role for 15 years and reports to the Transport Minister on issues involving trains, trams, buses and shipping. Fergus gave a really interesting snapshot of his working life.
