Train Incidents in West Auckland - Heroes, TVNZ
A feature about train incidents in West Auckland, New Zealand. It's a dark story but still shines important light on rail safety, along with how incidents affect railway staff mentally and emotionally. Also interesting to see a glimpse of Henderson Station in the early '90s. 'Heroes' was a show on TVNZ that ran in the early 1990s.

Ex-KiwiRail DBRs on the Goldfields Railway - 20-10-24
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.4 часа назад
Two ex-KiwiRail DBR class locomotives haul passenger services on the Goldfields Railway between Waihi and Waikino in New Zealand. This stretch of track used to be part of the East Coast Main Trunk, linking the Waikato with the Bay of Plenty, until the Kaimai Tunnel was opened in 1978.
KiwiRail DCs on Waitoa & Morrinsville Shunts - 17-10-24
Просмотров 18912 часов назад
To start, we see two DC class locomotives departing Waitoa dairy factory in the morning, after dropping off some wagons. The locos are seen running down the Waitoa branch, though Piako, before opening up the throttle after Morrinsville on the East Coast Main Trunk. In the afternoon, the locos are seen travelling back up the route to collect wagons containing milk products from the Waitoa and Mo...
Pacing the KiwiRail Hautapu Shunt - 02-07-24
Просмотров 2123 месяца назад
Paced the KiwiRail shunt to Fonterra on the Hautapu branch in the Waikato, for a stretch between Newstead and Matangi. DCs operate on the line because of axle-load restrictions due to the state of the track. This footage was taken by my 8-year-old daughter while I was at the wheel. NOTE: Turns out I was on a private road. Thanks to the owners for understanding my mistake!

Thanks for posting.
my friend Daniel Hand jumped under a train couple of years ago, due to poor mental health, by the Tegal factory in Henderson, RIP Dan will never forget you.
Had an 11yr old fatal, same line, 1975. RIP, Wayne Russell Green. Still haunts me. No victim support in those days.
Love what happened at 22:19, photobomb!!
Always a classic moment eh! I’m lucky only to have experienced that once. Seen heaps of instances on RUclips where people have missed out on their dream shot of the Flying Scotsman or similar!
There was an incident on the Western Line between Swanson and Ranui at Midday 21/10/24 , but this time involving Dogs and what I heard 1 possibly 2 were Killed and the AM unit arrived in Ranui very slowly and Driver changed places at Henderson '
Those are the type of fellows who should be a NZ Minister of Transport, rather than our 2024 highway pothole numptie (who has time to, but is totally unlikely to redeem himself). NZ needs more trains for everyone’s benefit and a better future. Thumbs up to the railway people!
Ex Kiwirail, but like ex Tranzrail.
If only they will ever connect the line back to the NIMT again...
Great video 👍🤙. You frame it well. There appears to be a little jitter within the footage. It could be mismatched frame rate between footage & project settings with your editing software, or also export settings. A slow speed data card in your camera is another possibility.
Great to see!! I miss seeing DBR 1213 on the Hokitika line.
Crazy to see DBs in the coromandel
Wow this is really awesome I will have to have another ride
DBR Forever. Good to see these in use. Will they be restored?
@@peterfinucane8122 They are privately owned and on lease to the Goldfields Railway, I believe, so I guess it’s up to the owner whether they’ll be restored!
Nice video. Great picture quality too.
@@TomSchmidt-t4y Thanks! iPhone 12 mini - very simple but also very useful for pacing.
Dc4467 that horn needs some TLC
Thankfully it was a passing truck, felt like having a toot at the train!
NEW ZEALAND RAIL
:)
Which livery is newer, on DC4467?
Yes, I believe that is the Mk 2 KiwiRail livery.
Nice pacing shot of the shunt
My daughter filmed it!
I'm married to him, he is her step father.
What i don't get why didn't Auckland Transport have hop cards back then or at least a year after we didn't receive them until 2012 and plus they definitely should have been Around for the big event the 2011 Rugby world cup Auckland central Transport are really slow 2003 to 20112 that is really slow just for hop cards to be invested for the public because 2003 those hop card machines should have allso been Around especially big event the 2011 Rugby world cup and today in 20024 they are still not on time light rail would have been a better option for Auckland Transport besides busses.
2 versions of the Kiwirail logo.
Legend! You got it!
My Dad was in the rescue party at the Tangiwai Disaster and he was one of the first people there he was working at Kariori as a forestry worker and was something he never really talked about and once I was on a suburban train from Wellington and an older gentleman sat next told me his girlfriend was in the front carriage of the Tangiwai Disaster train very sad the last thing he remembered was when he kissed her good bye. I can't imagine what happened to her? very sad 😔
I owned a VHS copy of this documentary which sadly died on me a short while ago so I can't play it anymore. So naturally I'm glad to see it uploaded here so I can enjoy it again. This has always been my favourite of the Memory Line series, itself a fantastic series of productions, exploring and capturing NZ's Golden Era of Railways.
Thank you so much. It’s great to hear of your experience. A few years ago I copied all of my rail VHS to DVDs for safe keeping, and then recently I thought, why not make them available to everyone for posterity on RUclips. I agree, the Memory Line series is amazing. All the production was way ahead of its time.
@@AotearoaRail Hey man what happened to your Steam on the Midland Line video? Did it get copyright struck or something?
@@TheSonic10160 Hey mate. I was informed by the licence owner that it was copyrighted, yes, so I had to take it down. No actual copyright strike which I was thankful for.
@@AotearoaRail Oh phew, still, a bit dirty of them for an over 30 year old niche video
Loving all these old uploads - plenty of memories on these excursions as a kid. Keep them coming
Thank you! I'm glad you like them. They've been stored on DVDs over the years, so I thought it would be nice to finally share them with the community!
Do you have the Heroes episode that featured the EE Unit at Boxhill station?
I don't unfortunately - never seen it!
Collin Manning. 34:46 locomotive Driver Taumarunui. I miss our driving days Colin.RTH Bell ex locomotive Driver Taumarunui.
Robbie Aston .2:43. Locomotive Driver Taumarunui. Miss You Robbie.
This is gold. I remember the Newmarket backshunt from Uni days.
Same! I’m really glad I got it on video. Used to sit in a train on the backshunt every day. Quite a cute quirk to the trip.
I lived in Raurimu in the old township and in the top house on the Land and Survey Raurimu block in the sixties and have fond memories of the old steam traces, yes I miss them, great days
Superb production, thanks for posting. Days long gone of a better and more capable New Zealand.
Terminal Frost by Pink Floyd playing at the start. Nice touch.
I agree! I first got this on video when I was at kindergarten, and LOVED the track but didn’t know what it was - until I was 17 and got into Pink Floyd and rediscovered it. Magic.
A really well done episode. Is there any chance the documentary The Truth About Tangiwai is still available to watch?
I haven’t been able to find that specific film. That aired in 2002 and I think it’s been superseded by very similar more recent docos. I was glad to have this episode of Heroes on my old VHS collection, even though it rides the (allegedly not entirely accurate) Cyril Ellis folklore.
You must have just missed the Northern Explorer as it was around 5mins ahead of the DFB's going North .
You’re correct! I saw the Northern Explorer cross the excursion train from my car as I was driving to get ahead of it.
@@AotearoaRailI caught both on Dashcam between Onewhai and Rangiriri while sitting in one long queue of traffic at 1st thinking they were motobikes sneaking through the traffic .
@@davidlipscombe916 That was a good score!
Was on this train today, such a great time even though the heat restrictions were in place for the return
Ah, I wondered why it was going so slow. Didn’t seem that hot. At least it made for heaps of shots!
@AotearoaRail I was happy for the restrictions for once meant more seat time onboard
@@_Still_Dre_ Wasn't heat restrictions. 644's axle box overheated
@n.f.railphotography7185 oh hell, we were told differently on board, out of curiosity what would have caused that?
@@n.f.railphotography7185 Thanks for the intel!
Totally enjoyed that video, thankyou for posting.
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
Great editing and skillful dubbing - this is a fine production - thankyou.
In 2019, I took the Northern Explorer from Auckland to Wellington, a journey of over 11 hours. The overnight sleeper trains were long gone by then having been replaced by buses which are more flexible in their scheduling & seating capacity. There's an attached cafe car now negating the need for station stops (although the food leaves much to be desired. The trip is pretty relaxed... however I do have a few 'criticisms'. Firstly heading south via the Raurimu Spiral is underwhelming. I was in the observation car during the traversal, and I was left with the "was that it?" feeling. Secondly, food options in the cafe car are limited to prepackaged sandwiches, frozen pies, frozen meals (& barista coffee). Surely toasted sandwiches & local bakery pies aren't too much to ask for? Lastly there's no modern amenities such as power points of Wi-Fi. Given that the NIMT is out of range of cell reception most of the time, the only entertainment available is music (assuming you have enough phone charge) or a book...
Enjoyed that,first came accross New Zealand Railways in a book in the Local Library when I was about fourteen fifty six years ago. The family had just moved back to Glasgow in Scotland and The Remains of The N.B Loco Works were not far away. Many Early N.Z. Locos were built there,along with locos for Aus,Canada,India,etc. As a seventy year old who travelled by train in The UK as a kid before buses took over its easy to see NITR must have been something else to travel on. Bus,gets you there,but I for one am thankfull to get off !
Well done to all the old engineers who surveyed and designed that railway line all done with primitive gear and no overseas consultants.
Too much water in the boiler , hebce the steam from the funnel causing ruination of the cylinder lubrication.
Correct water level in the boiler hence no steam from the funnel .
Super cool old kinda footage 👍🏽👌🏽
Magnificent!
I’ve seen this footage on nz rail scene 1
I was the Guard on that first train :)
Some scenes were filmed at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway
L pl
Absolutely love the steam trains in the Waikato
Was lucky enough to be a passenger, great video & great experience
Thank you! It must have been great to be traveling at such a relaxed pace.
There trains are look after but in South Africa the government and it's maviejas steal every thing and then they it is COVID fault.
