177: General Manager to be appointed for every local railway

You could also call this:

“Every local passenger railway must have a boss whose details are kept by the government”

For every local railway in New Zealand that carries passengers, there must be an officer called the General Manager. You need to know that the name and address of each General Manager has to be registered with the Minister’s office. This means that the government keeps a record of who is in charge of each local railway that carries people.
