KiwiRail on the Main South Line - Spring 2023 (4K)

On Monday the 20th of November we chase KiwiRail freights 925 and 934 from Christchurch to Studholme and back.
On this day the lead loco of 925, DFB 7173, was having engine problems and ended up being left behind at Timaru and trail loco DFB 7241 was turned and lead 925 to Studholme. At Studholme 934 gifted it's trail loco DXB 5051 to 925 and then proceeded to Timaru with DXC 5293 running solo. 934 then picked up the broken DFB 7173 and headed north to Christchurch into the Sunset.
Sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of KiwiRails DX and DFB class locos at work on the Main South Line

The South Island appears to run the DXS lite…, all through the for their first 3 decades on the north.. they ran those tonnages single headed..

North American here. The UA-cam algorithm recommended this for me and it’s fascinating for some of us to see freight train videos from other places of the world. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I’m guessing you and some others were down about and have gone back up north?

Did the second loco in the leading set have a brakes issue? looking at the smoke from it @ 0:25
