Thanks. It seems strange to me to use two DFB's on a 5-coach push-pull set. Am I missing something?
@rikisimeti79552 ай бұрын
A couple of years ago Te Huia used to be top n tail due to the fact that they couldn't lead with the SRV (not sure why they didn't). But as of recent times they've started using the SRV to lead Northbound to Auckland, and DFB leading south to Hamilton.

I used to be a member of goldfields a very long time ago I have to say it’s a shame it never seems to progress on the right direction Why you would put two heavy expensive to run locos On this stretch of line is a mystery to be honest They will never be able to run main line excursions as there’s no main line near by Also I’m afraid the staff at goldfields wouldn’t be able to restore or over haul these giants Looking at their condition one would hope they are shipped to either mainline or gvr where these could be properly restored and maintained Hopefully they aren’t just run into the ground there The track looks like it should of had the funds put into it first I’m afraid

Do they really need the tanker to Huntley? Or morriville? Seems a bit of more weight but still nice video mate also let’s get you to 500 subs

@TNZvideos Жыл бұрын
If we didn't need the tank wagon on the train it wouldn't be on it. Having the tank on is essential as our smaller loco with a big train uses a fair bit of water. It saves much more time being able to take water on the move than having to stop everywhere to use hydrants
