- On Sunday the 2nd of April KiwiRail moved its 10 New DL Class locomotives lead by DL 9671 from Mount Maunganui to Te Rapa (Hamilton) for commissioning, I chased this train from Hemopo to Ruakura
Enjoy!!!
i look forward to the delivery of the 57 locomotives for the south island
Great video!.
Are these 10 new DLs identical to 2018 batch of DLs, or do
they have minor modifications?.
Thanks, I’m not sure about that sorry, as far as I can tell they seem to be the same
@@C.S.RailPhotography Thank you for your reply.
As I understand it, the entire fleet of DL locomotives are speed restricted to
80 kph and therefore only used for hauling freight trains.
I was hoping that at least some of the DL Locomotives be modified, so they
can be used on fast passenger trains e.g. The Northern Explorer, Te Huia,
The Capital Connection and The Wairarapa Connection.
@@johnjkiwi7818 I’m not sure on this but I think mabye 1 or 2 of the older ones might have been modified to 100km/h
@@johnjkiwi7818 what is the maximum speed allowed by the quiet undercarriage?
faster locomotives alone are of no use to anyone if the possible speed cannot be used for safety reasons.
how fast do the locomotives that have been pulling passenger trains go?
@@beatrueegg2722 Thank you for your question. I am not a Locomotive Engineer, but I believe that the
maximum speed for a passenger train hauled by a locomotive is 100km/h.
So the locomotives that are certified for passenger trains the DX, DFB, DCP and EF locos have to
be capable of 100km/h at the very least.
This one is going to Auckland
No, it only went to Hamilton
@@C.S.RailPhotography this one is going to Te Rapa
@@aadildokrat3656 yes
@@C.S.RailPhotography My favorite DFB Locomotives can take the Te Huia Passenger Train are DFB7335, DFB7077, DFB7295 and DFB7049.
