Nice catch there mate. I miss seeing the DC locos on the coast

@@steveruss84 thanks mate, it's a shame the DC's are mainly confined to shunts and the occasional 951/2 and 2nd loco on most other trains, would be nice if they could go over to the Coast more

I was using a new microphone and unfortunately forgot to turn it on before recording and I only realised at the last moment right before the Locomotive Engineer gave us an iconic train horn.

We've all done something like that before! Years ago I got a lift up the Raurimu Spiral on a goods train. I took several pictures, but when developed, light had got in, probably when changing the film. I kept the prints/negatives knowing I would not get the chance again. Over 50 years later that has proven to true, but have been up and down many times since.
