Napier to Wairoa 

Very well-tuned loco, producing almost no fumes! Unusual for such an old loco!

nothing like the sound of a DA...awesome memmories

I was on this train on 20 April 2012. The Steam Inc excursion was originally intended to go through to Gisborne but the railway was closed just beforehand. This train was actually the last ever train to Oputama and we spent an hour there while the loco was turned around and then returned to Wairoa. We then boarded a bus to Gisborne, stayed the night and the next morning were taken to the whalerider marae before returning to Wairoa and catching the train back to Napier - 1 May 2012.

That sounds incredible.

Damn she's making a sweet noise at 37 seconds 👍

just went past our house lol

I used to assist the guards on the railcars from Napier in 1961, 62, and 63. This was a very scenic line and should be opened to tourist traffic again. I love the sound of the Da, and was at Napier when they first arrived. Thanks for the posting, memories are coming back.

Hey Hunter This is all shot in New Zealand in the South Pacific. Thanks Marty

A blast from the past. Two engineers, a gaurds van with fuck all for the gaurd to do. Any wonder the gisb napier line got shut down.

Hey mate. I shot this on my DSLR which is a Canon 1D MKIV. The lenses I used were the 24-105 and 70-200mm. Thanks Marty

ASMR 😍 (I'm mimicking the sound lol) My grandaughter & I took this trip on a steam train from Napier aprox 10 years ago. I live in Ormondville. Also did 5 viaducts. And stay at the train station often.

Beast, sounds like a G12. Great footage.

Marty, that's really sharp footage. Coils you tell me (a) what you film on, and(b) what settings you use to upload?

fuck that sounds awesome

Beautiful, isn't it :-)

I have a question, Does New Zealand still have any narrow guage Garratt Articulated Steam Locos? ones that still pull passengers?

Is there any update on reopening this line? I read that they were looking to restore services to Wairoa.

were they a v8 diesel?

Muito bonito paresse com o meu país brasil
