Good to see this. Unfortunatly I missed the 125 event but I do have fond memories of the displays at the Centennial at Christchurch. On the following day I went fishing at Lyttelton and waited for the return suburban train. But the Centenial special run arrived so I boarded it complete with fishing rod and catch of dogfish. There was no ticket collection and alas it did not stop at Woolston Station so I ended up at Christchurch Station and had to catch a bus back home - good thing I did not spend all of my money on ice creams!

Such nostalgic recordings, and so grateful that people were out there filming for us to view. An interesting fact was mentioned that NZ's reliance on imported fuels when there's an abundance of coal locally. Yes the economics won't add up, but at least it's there.

I live in Australia now, however I reckon I would travel back to NZ to see a large excursion again and photograph it.

How is it that all those years ago we could run passenger trains all around the country, from cities to small provincial towns and all places in between, when the railways employed thousands of men and women at great cost and every train needed staff and coal to operate - yet today with minimal staff and electric units we can't do the same thing?

Thanks for watching. We do not notice the present, and only appreciate past when it has gone.
