Well it has been sometime since i posted videos on my channel, things have changed and i have moved from the Westcoast to the Eastcoast and now work out of Picton, hopefully i will soon post some footage from the East side of the South Island for you to enjoy.

Great video! The line was so badly damaged that I didn't think it would *ever* be repaired. To be able to do it in a year or so was amazing - especially given the large number of tunnels and bridges! Really good footage of the huge amount of coastal land uplifted by the quake! I think I saw the Papatea fault scarp there too, at Waipapa Bay (although I think it has almost eroded away now - it doesn't take long.)

2000 tonne, but this was when brightstar was 1st put in them and it was a mess, the locos wouldhit wet rail and derate and sand, then the sand would stop whiler the loco was building up traction and it would flip out again. The only way to stop it was use the independent brake. But we got our hands smacked at the time for doing such. Later on the parctice was approved, but not by what we in the SI had been doing, but by NI trials on the then milk route. Funny that

The NZ mainline network is in cape gauge. The same mainline gauge used in Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, most other former British colonies in Africa, and in the Australian states of Tasmania, Queensland, and Western Australia. The maximum speed on the NZ mainline is 120km/h (~75mph in backward units). Although most trains rarely go much faster than 90km/h. So yeah I can’t imagine trains going over 200km/h on the NZ network either. I can’t imagine why anyone would.

@danieleyre8913 7 месяцев назад
@@shhmule I don’t mean to be rude. But where would you ever get the idea that now-retired 50 year old HST units used in some country on the other side of the world would ever be used in NZ?! We barely have any intercity passenger rail services. Population base is low and political leadership has been pro-automobile for 50 years.

In 2019 i got the opportunity to return to Westport so i did as we had the house there and i would travel back home from Picton on my days off. Now days it is a bit had to record unless you a go pro as we are not allowed to use cameras etc. No i haven't retired yet, still got at least 6 yrs to go
