Remarks & Notes |
KiwiRail driver Mike Kilsby gets loaded coal train 832 on the move after crossing Reefton-bound 829 at the Mawheraiti loop/siding. Most freight trains in New Zealand are single manned, so in addition to all the other things the driver has to keep an eye on, he also has to get out and throw the points/switches to effect crossings in remote locations. |
