It was a busy five days, involving a few KiwiRail services, visits to three heritage railways and my first time ever going to the West Coast.
Major highlights include (but are not limited to):
Electric Locomotives EO 3 and EC 7 running at the Ferrymead Railway
KiwiRail's brand new DM 8012 locomotive at Middleton depot
Chasing DFB 7241 on the TranzAlpine to Greymouth
L 508 in steam at Shantytown
