Di 1102 on the Weka Pass Railway - July 2018 (HD)

On Sunday 15th July 2018, Di 1102 began to be put through its paces for testing and certification on the Weka Pass Railway after a nine year restoration job undertaken by the Diesel Traction Group. The locomotive was restored to haul the railway's commercial passenger services through the scenic Weka Pass to Waikari and we capture the Di doing what it was built for along the 12.8km long railway in wet winter conditions. The sound of a Di, hard at work has not been heard of for almost 30 years until now as Di 1102 will be based at Waipara until October, enjoy the sweet sound of English Electric at its finest!
