Da 1410 & DBR 1254 - Hawkes Bay Wine & Food by Rail (4K)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On Sunday the 29th of October, Steam Incorporated ran an excursion from Paekakariki to Takapau in Hawkes Bay. Da 1410 hauled the train solo to Palmerston North where the Glenbrook Vintage Railway's DBR 1254 joined for the remainder of the trip. DBR 1254 is staying at Steam Inc's base of Paekakariki for routine checks during GVR's busy summer schedule.
Originally scheduled for March this excursion was delayed due to flooding on the Palmerston North - Napier Line. Now with the line fully open again the excursion was a go. The line north of Woodville is significant due to multiple large viaducts and old station buildings. A notable station is Ormondville which is beautifully restored with sidings and a shed building.
Apologies for any wind noise and camera shake!
Sit back and relax and enjoy some diesel power through the scenic line to Hawkes bay.

The mighty DA, I remember the change from steam to the DA,on the night express Auckland to Wellington. As a kid, growing up around the railways and travelling the country was normal, 😊😊😊😊.
Amazing video! Thanks for the awesome day out

I would have thought Steam Inc would have used both of their DA's for this .

As per the video caption, It was a good way to work the DBR to Paekakariki from Auckland.
Late comment, but did this go past Napier?
