    Those incandescent lights will be missed when they go. There's a few level crossings near me that are in the process of being upgraded as well, Really need to find the time to document those.

    I quite Like Kleemann's having been in quite a few of them myself. They are definitely one of the better "budget" brands out there. Have only done MRL Tractions ones in the UK though.....all the NZ examples I've been in so far have by Hydraulic, but I know that Traction ones do exist out there. Also, judging by the shame of the cabs in these, I'd say these most likely replaced some older lifts????

    It is nice to see the EF class taking up the job without a single boring DL in the consist. That shot on the bend south of Waiouru is my favorite. Which side of Waiouru is the shot after that taken though?? Must've been going quite slow for you to catch up to 234 that soon.

    Great shots, Always feels refreshing seeing the EF class heading trains up the trunk. Now, I have been looking through everyone's footage of the EF class post overhaul, Including my shots from the Spiral Spectacular trip, And trying to work out if the headlights really do flash in that weird pattern, Or weather it is a camera glitch, Example at 7:29... It is a very strange pattern either way....
