Hey Roadhog, are you a member of the NZ train enthusiasts thingie, where they travel around different parts of NZ by train and hold "specials" for that group? Where a whole bunch of you travel on the same train....if that makes sense  |

Havnt been on a train pulled by Ja1271... only Ja1250 at Glenbrook, as well as from Auckland to Hamilton about 15 years ago.
Those engines were greyhounds in their day, hauling expresses at around 60-80mph on the Canterbury Plains and in the North Waikato
