Looking back to the last run on the old Railway & the last train to run before the track was wripped up!

Above left; is Ab730 heading its last train out of tunnel No1 heading back to the yard. Above Right; Dg2330 in charge in the oppisite direction with its train. Take note of the up & down of the track this is due to frost heave looks good in pictures but limits running.

Above Left; F72 at the other end of tunnel No1 track is starting to get over grown. Above Right; the last train to run on the old AFR was the GP-30 & 38 American Muscle. As you can see the track had started to be taken up & the date, 01-05-2005 all the above pictures were taken around this time

 

Boxing day 2009 is a good reason for a day of running trains with most of the NZR fleet stretching there wheels.

Above Left; is Ab730 running a small goods train & not to be out done on the Above Right; is A62 heading a light goods.

 

Dg2330 in charge passing the water vat, Top Left and not forgetting our American roster is GP30 heading a fully   loaded test train of the new Yj hoppers.

 

   

      

Above Left; is Ab730 heading a goods train on 29-09-09. Above Right; Saw snow for the first time on the new AFR on June 2008, so the snow plow was put into action! But as you can see from the pictures above & below there wasn't much.
