Steam Incorporated's last run for the season was on the 26 April, 2024, as usual, thanks to the awesome train crew. Ground Camera: Cayleb Clayton With John Wylie and D Rowe
We were on the train. The DA was on the front for too long. Yes it was needed through Dashwood Pass due to fire risk but could have been put on the rear of train from Seddon.
very nice I was able to see Da and Ja at Blenheim in the morning and evening and also saw the Ja the day before when it came up to Picton to be turn for it to run south :D
Such a shame (for me) to see a DE leading the steam train, messing up the onboard camera footage in so doing. I know why the DE is there, but why not at the rear of the carriages.

Excellent video, great camera and drone work, it really was neat viewing.
What a beautiful noise: Love the sound of Steam train 🚂. Thank you for sharing.

Shame that the diesel was on the front for most of the trip.

Why did they swap the Diesel?
Surely that is totally unsafe and against the rules having the deisel engine in front. you have NO visibility of the track in front of you.
