Remarks & Notes 
With 843 having arrived on the right, the 4 bankers to the left wait patiently for 828 to arrive. Once here, the bankers will attach to the head of the train and assist in getting the loaded train up to Arthurs Pass. The 4 DXC class locomotives are bankers are based at Otira and assist in getting all loaded trains up the 1 in 33 grade of the 8.5km long Otira tunnel to Arthurs Pass.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)

Trains on 3' 6" (1.067m) track from Whangarei to Bluff with virtually heritage rebuilt EMD and GE locomotives still the mainstay power. The network was privatized in 1990's and operated by Toll until 2008 when state owned KiwiRail was established.
