The Coastal Pacific

The Coastal Pacific is a long distance passenger train that runs from Christchurch to Picton everyday over an extended summer season. Hauled by members of KiwiRail's elderly DCP Class. In this presentation we follow DCP 4559 from the Northern Suburbs of Christchurch up the Kaikoura Coastline to Piction and return.

4559 sounded really nice in some of these shots

Lovely scenic trip. Kiwi Rail wants to get some real horns for their locos. The current ones sound like a sick cow. Couldn't wake anyone up. Those back in North America could shatter glass in comparison. you really need something that will get attention.

articulatedloco we only use RS2M and Nathan K2 on the majority of our engines

The DCP isn't elderly. It is a classic, not even vintage. For the Coastal Pacific, it is grossly overpowered, giving acceleration like a suburban commuter!

Very good, if you managed to shoot all that in one day it would have not been easy !

Plenty of close ups with horn blowing and wind noise going on ,But only Two shoots with any scenery in the back drop .Has been to low and to close to the train to have any scenic experience (which is what you are trying to sell )
