That tunnel! I am 85 and don't get out much but in the last 2 days I've travelled again through our wonderful back country I used to take so much for granted. Quite teary..
Great video.. I noted the fishing boat on the right @37:54. Out of curiosity, I tracked it down on Google Earth. After locating it and viewing it in street view, I looked up the name that is painted on the boat.... The boat is called the *Winifred James* and it located at the turn off to the seaside village of *Moeraki* - The beach there is famous for it's unique round boulders.
Geoff, we absolutely love watching your videos!! It helps when we are missing NZ. I noticed a lot of train videos lately. Run out of Petrol? 😀. Cheers!!
Thanks Geoff and Kiwirail driver. Some of the South Island i have not seen before. Note to self select 4k on "gear" before watching half the video as defaulted to 480p :-)
Railway company is KiwiRail and the video is shot in the South Island of New Zealand. Locomotive sounds like a DX class U25C manufactured by GE in the 1970s. Safeworking is Track Warrant with remote controlled interlocking at Herbert and an automatic, non supervised crossing loop at Hillgrove. Awesome video thank you.
