Attempts will be made today to recover a remote-controlled locomotive that fell off the Picton wharf yesterday.

The incident, during which a wagon also fell into the harbour, has disrupted Interisland ferry services.

No one was hurt but the locomotive remains under eight-metres of water and attempts will be made today to haul it up.

Kiwirail chief operating officer Todd Moyle spoke to Corin Dann.
