This dates back some years, when all stations had fulltime staff, & accepted crates & parcels to be railed to any other station within NZ.

Any carton accepted for freight would have one of these labels glued to it, showing the name of the station it was consigned to. On arrival at that station, the clerk would send a postcard to the addressee, advising them that the box is ready to be collected at the NZR station. So these L-11 labels are NZ's earliest parcel-freight service. (The Post Office only dealt in letters, hence the reason all early stamps are only low values.)

Take a look at my other railway document and stamp listings for other similar items listed under Bjubes:
