Ww 644 on the Main Line! Steam Locomotive's Second Test Run on the Network

Glenbrook Vintage Railway's Ww 644 steam locomotive was out and about on the National Rail Network on Saturday 3rd September 2022, for it's second test run on the Main Line since the completion of it's overhaul earlier this year.
We take an extensive look at the test train as it travels from Waiuku's Victoria Avenue station on the GVR line, to Mercer with stops at Glenbrook & Pukekohe. She then travels back north to Papakura with another water stop at Pukekohe - before heading back home to the GVR.
Enjoy 4 different camera angles of train, with GoPro's mounted on the locomotive, the Drone up in the air, and of course the main camera from the lineside and behind the scenes.
