KiwiRail Trains around Christchurch - July 2020 (HD)

This video features KiwiRail trains filmed around Christchurch over a couple of weeks in July 2020.
Some rare sights include, DXR 8022 on the Woolston to Racecourse Hill shunt, three locos on Train 736, TR livery DC 4853 on the coal dumps and elephant style DFT's on Train 925.
I managed to go to a few new locations this time for filming including Curletts Road overbridge in Sockburn, Whiteleigh Ave crossing in Addington, Waltham Road, Opawa rail bridge, Curries Road crossing in Woolston and Scruttons Road crossing near Heathcote.
Enjoy some KiwiRail action around Christchurch and I'll see you very soon for more videos. :)

You saw both DXRs while you were there amazing

[@NZREngine]

Yes, and 8022 was on the Racecourse Hill shunt which doesn't happen very often!

[@kiwirailtrains8651]

NZREngine oh right

Wow DXR 8022 is back on the rails after that collision on the coastal pacific

[@NZREngine]

Yes it was nice to get 8022 on film down there :)

Awesome videos mate!! I caught quite a good selection of the trains in this compilation

[@NZREngine]

Thanks! I look forward to your videos from Christchurch :P

Nice video, you got my favourite DFT, 7008 on film! 🥳😃

[@NZREngine]

Yes I was happy to get 7008 on film as I hadn't filmed that loco before :)

Great stuff, My favorite shots are the tripple header you got at Northwood with 736, The foggy night shot of 736 at Redwood (Feels weird calling a place outside of Wellington by that name LOL), And the bridge shots at Opawa just as you come into Woolston. Can't ignore the double headed DC's either on the coal dumps!!!

[@NZREngine]

Thanks!! I'm surprised you thought the foggy shot of 736 was good. I thought it was a little too dark but if you liked it then that's great! And I was very pleased with he shots at Woolston and Opawa too. :)

[@LookForTrains]

Great stuff!, I'm ashamed that I missed the tripleheader on 736.

[@NZREngine]

Yeah I wasn't expecting that!

[@ethant4531]

I've seen a quadrupole header on 736.

@@ethant4531 I've seen 5 DXC's on a Coalie at Otira.

Where do you get the train numbers? Train W76G for example? :)

[@NZREngine]

If you get Facebook then you can join the New Zealand Locomotives Facebook Group, they have timetables on there which should help you :)

[@n.f.railphotography7185]

What time was 925?

[@NZREngine]

About 12:30ish, that's when it's scheduled to leave
