KiwiRail - Winter on the Main Trunk Line (4K)

Over two beautiful winter days in August we cover various KiwiRail services around the Volcanic Central Plateau of the North Island Main Trunk.
A snowstorm a couple days prior provided a scenic winter backdrop with Mount Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe in their full winter coat. There was also some snow left on the ground between Tangiwai and Hihitahi, as seen in this video.
A couple of rare sights include EF 30163 on a test run and DSG 3087 in tow on Train 234.
So sit back, relax and enjoy KiwiRail's hard working locomotives tackle the gradients up to the most scenic part of the North Island rail network!
