The Weka Pass Railway is one of New Zealand's most popular heritage railways, operating a handful of English Electric built diesel locomotives either owned by the society, or by the Diesel Traction Group Inc. On Sunday 21st January 2024, we take a look at the railway's recently repainted Dg 770, in tandem with Di 1102, on loan from the DTG operating passenger trains up the scenic North Canterbury branch line from Glenmark Station, Waipara to Waikari. Following behind the train was the fire trolley, keeping a good look out should any unlikely chance of a fire spark during the hot dry summer season!
