I've noticed how Australian/New Zealand trains are very influenced by American ones. For example, in America we use mostly six-axle diesels, with knuckle couplers, and two-axle trucks under each railcar. In Australia and New Zealand, I'm seeing a lot of six-axle diesels with knuckle couplers and freight cars with two-axle trucks, and even ditch lights! The export designs aren't my favorite, however.
Given what you said in the commentary, why didn’t you knock off Paremata when you had the chance. You could have gotten some good footage of trains crossing the bridge over the inlet. Great to see the stabling movement at the end of the video
Because I wanted a sun-lit roster shot of a Matangi (the one you see in the thumbnail), which you can't get at Paremata because it's got an island platform.
I got some shots of DFB 7307 hauling 1206, but yea nice video!!
Hah, I just so happened to be on the CC that morning. Wellington's got a great network and I enjoy visits there. Keep up your good work bro!

How can you tell where freight trains are going?
Why don't you use your tri-pod?
Last year I was told by a staffer that you can't use tri-pods on the stations.
