Enjoy an uninterrupted view of the line ahead between Christchurch and Arthurs Pass, with all the viaducts, tunnels and fabulous scenery at 8 x normal speed.

Hello Henry, I see Railtrail now offer a tour to New Zealand, the itinerary is the best I've seen, I hope it also includes some places not listed such as the museum at Ferrymead, Christchurch. I'm sure the highlight of the tour will be the Railcarts through the Forgotten World. I have done almost everything included in the tour and I'm sure it will have a wide appeal because apart from some pretty uninspiring tours that really only include KiwiRails Scenic trains it is the most comprehensive itinerary covering both Islands that I've seen to date. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, where are you off to next?

+Timsvideochannel1 I recently discovered your channel, and am really enjoying going thru them all. As for the motion sickness, that's just me. When I lie on an exercise mat to do stretches and lifts, I have to close my eyes. If I leave them open, I get motion sickness within minutes. Back in the sixties, I tried a tumbling class in college. I lasted two sessions. That was when I discovered I had the problem. Funny, though, when I travel on board ships, crossed the Atlantic both ways in 2015, one of those on the QM2, that does not bother me! Anyway, keep posting your great videos. One of the things I love about KZfaq is being able to literally see the whole world from right here in my LazyBoy recliner!

Hi, its not a dumb question, they are there to stop a derailed train from moving all the way over to one side and potentially tipping over, something that would result in a unimaginable tragedy should it occur on one of the railway's lofty viaducts.

NZ trains are 42" gauge, high speed not too likely on this, maybe 75mph?

@Timsvideochannel1 7 жыл бұрын

In reality our train rarely traveled much faster than 50 mph and than felt pretty fast on the relatively narrow 3ft 6inch (42") gauge line. The slower speeds give plenty of time to enjoy the outstanding New Zealand scenery.

I think dairy produce is more lucrative these days than sheep farming, hence there are less sheep now than yesteryear.

I watched this at the produced speed, and then for good measure, watched it again set to 2x the playback speed. What a rush ! I also have to comment on all the crybaby commenters who whined about the music or whined about the speed the video was produced to show. All you whiners should get out there and make a video the way you want it to look, and "show us all how it should be done", and stay off of the comment section, lest ye be judged yourselves. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Yes there were some minor imperfections such as vibration caught on the camera, but it would be there if you were there in person too. Not much you could do. I give it 2 thumbs up, and I fart in the general direction of all the crybabies.

@Timsvideochannel1 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, I have only just come across this comment. Like yourself, I wonder how many of those who write negative comments have ever tried to make and upload a video to You Tube. I speed the film up to reduce the jelly effect caused by the vibration present when the diesel locomotive is working hard. Choosing music is always a problem because we all have different tastes, again I wonder why people don't simply mute the music and play their own selection. Unlike professionals, as an amateur I usually get one chance and I have to make the most of it. Fortunately, You Tube is made a rewarding experience for creators by the number of positive comments. I really appreciate you standing up on behalf creators. Tim.
