National Park to Waiouru - NZ Rail Cab View Real Time
By popular request, real-time cab footage with audio*, from a freight train in New Zealand, as it travels from National Park to Waiouru in the Central North Island, across some incredible landscape.
Check out the Makatote Viaduct at 9:51, the highest point of the NZ railways at 13:33, and my personal favourite, the Hapuawhenua Viaduct at 21:41.
The weather wasn't ideal, but this was a rare opportunity to get daytime, southbound footage (for me at least). At Te Rapa, we don't often get the opportunity to go all the way to Waiouru (crew change is scheduled around National Park), and when we do, it's mostly in the middle of the night.

Count Subbies With Me - Auckland to Hamilton Timelapse
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.14 дней назад
"Subbie" seems to be Upper North Island railway slang for "suburban trains" - perhaps because where Wellington had "units" (EMUs) for decades, the Auckland suburban network was only electrified in the 2010s, with EMUs introduced in 2014. In this episode, we count the subbies going past as we wait patiently (!) to get out of Westfield yard, and travel through the Auckland suburban network - and ...

Absolutely loved it,
blind corner for the train driver to
Love the videos, thanks mate, keep them coming. BTW you have the best job in the world
The train had priority as it was coming from the right.
A great video, thanks for sharing 👍👍🇳🇿
How long are your shifts? Is there a limit to the hours at the controls in a given period?
Shifts are normally 7-10hrs; maximum duty time is 11hrs, after which we are not permitted to drive any train or car and have to be driven back to depot. There's normally an hour between starting the shift and departure on the train (half an hour for paperwork & loco checks, half an hour for pre-departure shunting / train inspection). Hamilton-Waiouru is 4.5hrs each way without stopping, and there's meant to be a half hour meal break enroute, so if we go to Waiouru we're getting pretty close to maximum time.
Right.... Changed a bit from my Da days, with slack coupling, 4 wheelers, 6SL brake.....did I mention the draught in dynamic......great memory trip. Thanks. Taumarunui, 1969 1974.
I was based at Waiouru when the Silver Fern railcar went off the tracks. One of the worst call outs we ever had while working at the camp hospital. Tried to work out where the accident happened. Was on a curve and the train ended up on it's side down the bank. RIP to all that died
Found a photo of the accident in Te Ara, and a 1995 TAIC report mentioned in passing about the 1981 Silver Ferns derailment near Waiouru. From what I can gather, it was the 55km/h curve starting at 44:40 (but coming the other way).
@@dl9786-kr My family and I were travelling to Auckland a few weeks prior and was served by the female steward killed in the accident. Shocker. On the same trip to Auckland, a farmer knew we were coming and slit the throat of a sheep as we went passed. What an arrse
Good to see Ohakune still has it's original railway station, unlike the poor excuse for one at Waiouru
Absolute legend! I am truly grateful for this, and all the other cab views you have, thank you so much!! 😊
What date was this filmed on?
About a month ago
Sawmill and Pulpmill at Karioi & Tangiwai were still running.
The switch to nowhere right after the crossing is scary too.
That's a set of safety points, so that if a train had a SPAD (signal passed at danger, i.e. went through a red) while the route is set for an oncoming train, it will be diverted to the runoff siding and derailed in order to protect the oncoming train who would be proceeding correctly on signals. The same exists for the opposite direction on the other side of the bridge.
@@dl9786-kr Thanks. Once upon a time I knew that such things existed, but had totally forgotten. :)
Otherwise known as "Catch Points" -they are deliberately designed to derail trains that pass a signal at danger [SPAD]
What train is this on
Train was 228, and for the worldwide audience, it was a freight train in New Zealand, and this happened going through a town called Ngaruawahia, between Hamilton and Auckland.
duh!
People have made and will make mistakes. So you have to improve infrastructure instead.
I'm sure many would love to have all the thousands of level crossings in the country turned into over/underbridges, but the taxpayers aren't willing to pay for it ;)
Pls do wellton to new plymouth if you can my house is right next to the tracks and it will be cool
I'm not allowed south of Waiouru, I'm afraid
@@dl9786-kr are you rated for certain areas only or something?
People are getting more stupid and because there are more safety devices in place they’re evading the Darwinism and natural selection they so richly deserve.
I don't get it. The gates were down, bells were ringing, engineer whistled, what did the driver not understand? Better, HOW did the driver not understand?
I'll give em benefit of the doubt, and assume they were in a line of traffic at the intersection, the barrier arm dropped on top of their car and they panicked and froze 🤷♂️ at least they came to their senses and backed off the crossing just in time!
Honestly being a railfan for two years, i seen my fair share of people stopping on that tracks or a grade crossing when a train is coming or going around the gates like an idiot...
Darn! Almost one less Trump/Vance voter!
New Zealand, man - they don't vote for Trump or Harris. Man, they don't even get to vote directly for their Prime Minister. Whoever's party gets the most seats provides the PM and cabinet.
And that person survives the Darwin test
I really have no sympathy for people who make brainless decisions at train crossings. The person was trying to push the gate up and out of their way with their car while they could probably see and definitely hear the train coming because they’re too impatient to wait. I mean do they have a death wish? The Darwin Awards never end
In fairness to the person, my take on it (after watching the video a lot of times) is that they were probably stopped too far onto the crossing in a queue of traffic at the intersection, the barrier came down on their car and they panicked and froze. There was no evidence of them pushing up once they came into view, and I haven't seen any other POV.
That seems like a good assessment.
Had so.eone panic when the alarms came on down south one evening and skid onto the crossing in front of me. They backed up clear of the rail bit, not the arms, and one ended up resting on the roof, giving everyone a hell of a fright. Those days stick with the LE for sure.
Automatic Number Plate Recongition needed.
Took me a second to work out why you waited at Whangamarino on the yellow. I assumed you would run more effciently waiting for Te Huia to clear that block who had momentum already rather than you entering on the yellow and bound to doing half speed until block after whereas wait for the green and get rolling at you top speed.
Spot on! I got curious once and timed it - 80-90 seconds between getting a yellow departure and a green departure. Yellow departure means the half-block (absolute intermediate signal about halfway in the section - a feature of single-line) is red. The half-block is just under 3km away, with a sighting distance of about 400m. Going on the yellow departure means having to remember the half-block is red, and approaching it with due respect and caution. With a 1500t, 735m train, that means not fast. It's absolutely worth waiting another 90 seconds to be able to drive at line speed through the entire block section, with no stress, no crawling, and no risk of a SPAD.
@@dl9786-kr and it increases the distance between you and Te Huia which reduces the chance of catching up to it. giving you a good home run. Liking your videos. Been nice to see Mt/Tauranga from the rail view
PAU50 - 2012 Toyota Aqua. Hope they enjoy their new carjam photo
What is with the people of that bloody town and their attitude towards trains, Seriously.... No way was that motorist doing that by accident, They could have moved back well and truly before you got as close as you did!!! FUCK SAKES!!!
Curious, why does Te Huia get a scheduled overtake at Whangamarino? Is that a normal practice? You're running express so Te Huia is more likely to hold you up at Huntly and Rotokauri right?
Te Huia can go up to 100km/h, and I might be able to do 80km/h if the Driver Advisory System is feeling kind to me ;) Passenger trains always get priority because they're faster.
@@dl9786-kr thanks dude. Never thought of a passing loop being used in that way before. Always seen passing loops being used to manage opposing traffic lol Also, thanks for the videos. They're nice to watch.
I just subscribed to your RUclips channel
That's a little too realistic reenactment there!
Strangely mesmerizing. Any chance you could get footage of the NIMT from Auckland city or is that out of your jurisdiction?
Anything north of Westfield yard is outside my area, I'm afraid
The problem is that some road vehicle users think that a train can stop as quick as a road vehicle. They don't realise how a heavy a train is and the momentum a train as.
Surely if that barrier wasn't fully in the down position the interlocking shouldn't have cleared the signals or allowed them to continue displaying a proceed aspect? If a barrier is raised on an LC on the UK network the protecting signals drop back to danger.
Our interlocking detects failed crossing alarms, but to enforce that the arms have to be in the fully down position to clear the signal? That seems unnecessarily hardcore and sounds like more things to fail and cause signal outages and disruption. (That's also at risk of being abused by the locals, who... have been known to tamper with equipment and loot stopped trains.) But hey, I'm just some monkey that pushes levers to keep greens coming towards me, and keep reds away from me.
@@roblane6368 automatic crossings aren't interlocked with signals, they're activated by track circuits
In North America, crossing protection devices are not interlocked with the signal system at all, except in very rare cases where there is a road crossing within the confines of a track interlocking plant.
@@evanstauffer4470 Nor could they be, realistically. The crossing gates activate very roughly 20 seconds before the train occupies the crossing. It can easily take a minute or more to stop a train even in an emergency, so my the time I know that a car is on the crossing, it’s too late to stop. If a problem is reported in time, we obviously do either stop short or approach at a speed that will slow us to stop if needed.
Ahh MP5 I'm assuming?
Sure was! With that scheduled Whangamarino overtake 😂
Crossing gate comes down across your windscreen; yes, just stay exactly where you are. The train'll go around you 🙄
Obviously... 😐
I'm always surprised at how quiet trains are here in NZ as in the Horn is hardly used to warn traffic. Glad that this was just a very close call
Why more horn? Flashing lights, bells and a physical barrier didn't stop them. The horn won't help. Americans are horn happy and they still hit 1500+ cars every week.
@@trainsimulatordriver I agree with @jessejohnson, not enough warning of the train's arrival at the crossing. You are right, the bells, lights, and barrier didn't stop them in this incident, but one lousy toot of the horn half a mile away from the crossing isn't much warning to all the traffic (including pedestrian, bike, scooter, etc.) that may be about to use the crossing. Do I want a full 40 seconds of horn? No, but one lousy toot can be pretty ambiguous.
@@stanpatterson5033 let's take Europe, in most European countries they'll only blow the horn in an emergency and they have very few level crossing accidents. It's about people taking responsibility for themselves not relying on others to warn them and in this case provide a fifth warning (signs, lights, bells, barriers).
@@trainsimulatordriver Well, on the issue of horn use, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. However, I hope that we can agree on the fact that stupidity is Universal. Unfortunately, the hub of the Universe seems to be the USA for stupid drivers who ignore multiple warnings, take stupid chances, and end up becoming statistics. I see plenty of evidence that it happens often in Europe, though.
@@stanpatterson5033 fair enough
Thanks for the upload. My whole family enjoys watching them.
WTF,.. the gate was up on the roof of the car, so either they'd stopped in the wrong place with the lights, or they panic stopped as the gates came down because they were going to dive accross against the lights. What an effing moron. We have red light cameras at regular intersections, they're needed more at rail crossings!
The traffic arm was... sitting... on the vehicle? Do they think that's normal? That's how they drive!?
Better outcome than the Levin area collision in which the car was collected.
People don't understand stand... seen some stupid people and a real close near miss down here...
Oh what the fack I feel for the driver big time
Shit that was too close
Naaaaaa the bumper is just fine😵😵
Welcome back. Glad to see you're still uploading vids and the comments are turned on. 👍

It’s slightly noticeable when it hits the car. Slightly.

@dl9786-kr Cheers mate so much has changed on the system since I moved to Oz including those new signal indicator boards
Hey bro I have few question Whenever I see a LE job vaccency on kiwirail site it is always for Mount Maunganui, Greymouth or Christchurch I must have missed the location but most of the time it is for this three locations so how does the LE work schedule is as KiwiRail runs on both the islands is it a transferable job? Thank you
An LE is employed by and based at a particular depot, and is certified for that depot's territory only. Changing depots (from what I understand) is more like changing jobs. There are at least 15-16 depots around the country, each with its own sections of track it runs on (adjacent depots share some track). Each depot recruits separately as needed, turnover is low (people tend to stay in LE roles for years/decades), and some depots are quite small (some have less than 10 LEs total). Some depots go for years without needing to recruit, and those that do will sometimes do one round of recruitment a year and fill all their vacancies for the coming year. That is why you won't see all locations being advertised, even if you've been refreshing it nearly daily for years (like I did before I eventually got here.)
