Күн бұрынWe travel on up to Raurimu where the train crew change over. We weren't suppose to travel in the luggage van and got kicked out by the new train manager. Up the Spiral and over the volcanic plateau to Ohakune.

I remember doing bankers way back in 1970,initially from Taumarunui to National Park then back to Kakahi to bank the next one,then the same again for a third time,then light engine to Taumarunui,talk about damned boring John,i hated it.

Yes Eric, those banking jobs could be a bit boring. I used to come back down the hill, notch 8 on the first straight then into dynamic brake and a bit of straight air to go round the bend and the same on the next. Racing down the spiral come to an end when Bunti tipped his engine over on the last curve into Raurimu and killed himself. Interesting days though.
