- In this video we see some of KiwiRail's freight and passenger trains running on their Main Trunk Line between Auckland and Hamilton. We set out to film these trains over a 2 week period between Hamilton and Wellington, capturing the hard working DL class locomotives doing what they do best.
Enjoy!
Great coverage of the Manawatu region. With the shots in this video, I quite like the last clip in the end with the solo EF on freight. Even though DLs are the most predominant locomotives in the Kiwirail network, it is cool to see some electric action for sure.
The new -ish DL class locos kind of remind me of the British Rail class 58, rather similar in cab shape.
The frontal appearance of the 58 is much more pleasing. DL's would look much better with a one-piece windshield.
Nice
Cool video, well done!
Wonderful train video and scenery. Joe from Canada 😊
I subscribed for more.
Wonderful video just subscribed and all notifications also will you be going to motat on the 16th?
Thanks! I’m out of the country at the moment, but more exciting videos are coming soon!
Very good. Was a good chase of 225!
Why are the DL's dragging the EF's? OLE down?
I believe the EF's were supposed to lead the train but one of them broke down just before departure from Te Rapa.
@@TheKiwianTrainspotting Thanks. I presume this was all after the NIMT and the EF's were refurbished? I find NZ railways quite interesting: parallels and contrasts to South African railways.
