I love these 1920s electric locos. Liked and favourited!

[@LesElliott-t4b]

Absolutely fantastic

Great footage, and look at that sunshine! You get better weather in the middle of winter than we do in summer.

Takes me back to my young teens travelling on EC7 between Christchurch and Lyttelton. Sigh....

[@alexanderip1003]

love the coaches they remind me of the same coaches used on Hong Kong's KCR (now MTR East Rail Surface Line) between 1910 and 1950

[@rodericgray5202]

Is this possibly the only rail museum in the world capable of operating full size electric road engines, or am I wrong? Nice video!!

[@InevitableMe]

There are a few others, but not nearly enough. Electric locomotives deserve better in preservation. Most, but not all, of the rest are in Switzerland.

So whatever happened to the other 4 EO's? I'm sure all of them were preserved after their duties at Otira, then transferred to Wellington a few years back, which didn't really work so well...What happened to them after that?

[@garyk7427]

Other EOs, this one (Eo 3) is one of the first batch (1923 from memory), while the later ones (1968), known s the Ea and later EO class, were stored at Ferrymead for a time prior to three being used on the wellington network, all but one of them have since been scrapped
