NZ Trains - Kawerau/Murapara Road Trip - Part 5 - Auckland's Loco Hauled Suburban trains! Jan 2013

On the Evening/Morning of the 31st Jan/1st Feb 2013 we spend some time around Takanini in south Auckland where we see plenty of DC hauled passenger trains and the DBR top and tailed set!
We also saw a number of freights during the evening that you can see on part 4!

7:20 - ex Queensland Railways SX carriages previously used on the suburban system of Brisbane. Also used on Perth’s system for extra services in the late 80s, but later returned to Queensland somewhere in the early 90s.
Also love hearing the locomotives’ engine while doing push-pull operation and the control / cab car leading the service back to Auckland. Like at 6:50
Plus ex WAGR railcars at 8:10, they were previously used on the Perth suburban rail system prior to electrification in the 90s
And good video btw

Thanks mate, was a real mix of stuff then unlike now so glad I got what I did!

Great sounds as they throttle away from the stops. In the USA you wouldn’t hear that for damned blaring horns.

[@paekokstationmaster5032]

Yeap not so big on the blaring horns here that's for sure although I did find the blaring horns pretty impressive when I was in the States!
