KiwiRail | DM Locomotive Arrival (Full Coverage)
มุมมอง 77Kหลายเดือนก่อน
On the 19th of October 2024. KiwiRail received the first two DM locomotives. The DM locomotives were ordered back in 2021, with Stadler in Spain receiving the contract to build 66 of these locomotives. The aim is to have the DMs relieve the majority of the South Island KiwiRail fleet, with 47 being planned for the South Island fleet, and eventually 19 for the North Island. This video shows the ...

Beautiful locomotive! Looking forward to seeing her operations!
That's NZ Rail for ya! More people standing around the pop-up tent than doing anything. No wonder they make such a big profit. Yeah rite!
no wonder it's so expencive, to many chiefs and no workers.
No. I counted 18 workers standing around the pop-up tent.
So, KiwiRail is not ordering DL locomotives from China again?
Thanks for this production, what are the hoppers filled with? I guess from west to east?
That's pretty sad when you can't even produce a locomotive in your own country. But it is cute.....
It is world trading. One is having plenty of wool, while others are having other goods. Efficient manufacturing.
This still narrow (international) gauge, right?
It's 3ft 6inch (1,067mm) Cape Gauge.
Beautiful Engine !
👍 from Swiss
No, Spain.
@@pearlyhumbucker9065 Yes Maschine Made in Spain / Stadler in Swiss
Wich harbour is this?
Lyttleton,
con los mirones hubieran podido mover la maquina
There is no rail service to the port? They apparently had to truck the locomotives to active rail.
Thanx for the video. Will be interesting to see them run and see if they have real horns or some elcheapo like the DL class .
а зачем новой зеландии железная дорога?????? с острова на остров прыгать, как кенгуру????
👍👍👍👍
Thailand use train from china low standard
I'm Indonesian here. It's similar story to Pakistan.
What train country do you order
Switzerland
Built in Spain
Totally nostalgic...thanks!
Dunedin ??
I used to move freight train traction motors & train wheels at a plant here in Toronto - my testicles would always tingle whenever I had to lift one of them onto a flatbed truck. I know how the crane operator on that ship feels.
Guess some time in the future Stadler will be in a better position to sell rolling stock in Asia thanks to the agreement made with an Indonesians company.
Congratulations!
Pretty cool video, not something you see every day.
I visited NZ a few times on board a cargo liner in the eighties. Brought back good memories. As a ships engineer I was interested in this heavy lifting ship owned by Amasus. It is registered in Delfzijl, where I live, and never have seen it in real life. I know it is business as usual, but it made me proud. 😀
🙂 Wow... your video is really well done and interesting.... I like Train video but I never see a new locomotive coming out of a boat.... 🍒🍒🍒
Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia!
I guess these are diesel powered? 😊
Solar
Nuclear. Test engine for the Australian market. If the sheep in NZ are not glowing in the dark after one of these engines has passed them, they will be used in Australia. As PD class.
Beastly looking locos
Very nice video. I am surprised at the difference in height between the new arrivals they older locomotives. Very cool.
I am wondering if the new loco's are out of gauge because of their height
The multiplicity of handrails to meet NZ's current health and safety requirements is particularly noticeable compared with the earlier locos. Remember how staff complained about the narrow platforms and lack of rails when the first Chinese locos arrived? Will these two locos be named (or nicknamed) Stadler and Waldorf after the Sesame Street characters?
the Cinese built engines are already out of service ???
I wonder what 20 workers are doing, walking around with hands-in-pockets, just watchings the crane operators put the locomotive on platform? And next to them, in a tent, another 30 people are drinking coffee and watching the first ones? 😁 Is this what the fight against unemployment looks like?😂
I guarantee you there are more people doing nothing all day holed up in offices and boardrooms than those you see outside.
Thanks for sharing this detailed report. Very nice to see NZ investing in its Railway. Welcome home.
Not really…it’s still super under-utilised
Awesome!!! Looks like everything went smooth, i imagine gauging calculations for the transport must have been a real headache. Props to the engineers
It's called nerve-wrecking challenge.
Great day for NZ railways getting brand new quality locomotives. But against a sad backdrop of Kiwirail announcing voluntary redundancies. I can’t wait for David Seymour to be tossed out of power.
Shame no nice new Cook Strait ferries to go with them. Should got more trucks with rebates for the well-heeled and well-connected.
No sense in whinging is there?
36:58 the DX is a big loco, but the DM makes it look almost small. Looking forward to seeing them hauling cargo.
Any passenger services?
These looks taller than the DXs
One ship to bring two locomotives from Spain ,this is going to be an expensive delivery process.
If you check the history of locomotive and rolling stock delivery since WWII you will see that none have been delivered in greater numbers than 20. I believe the Dc’s rebuilt in Australia may have been the largest number on one ship.
@@Phil-oj5nr Yes 10 or 20 would be a good number but 2 seems ridiculous considering the distance they have to come.
They are only prototypes as they are going to make sure they are fit for running and then bigger batches will come @t20turnaround49
These are the two prototypes, they’re going to be used for testing and crew training. The remainder probably aren’t finished yet.
It's the manufacturers responsibility to deliver onto NZ shores!
What an excellent and historic video!. I believe the thew DMs are KiwiRail's first ever third generation Diesel- Electric locomotives. I imagine 8012 and 8029 will be used extensively for staff training and familiarisation. I can't wait until their Cummins prime mover is fired up for the first time!.
Great video, thanks.
The DMs have Caterpillar engines
@@simonwood6932 yeah just hope they are Quiter than the Screaming Chinese junk they have on line now ... They the DL's are a Total is appointment .... sad Really😢😢😢😢😢
Caterpillar C175-16 engine, same as the Stadler built class 68s in the UK. If it's anything like the 68s, they'll sound great, loud, but great. The 68s are so loud that residents living by Scarborough station complained about the noise from the locomotives idling in the station or nearby servicing point between services.
Why do foamers always film right beside the crossing bells? (and never moderate the sound in edit..) its pretty intense through headphones!
Becouse Yes
Ah, nice to see old trains😊
Nice clip? Are these standard gauge rails?
Cape gauge 3ft 6"
I was on that excursion:worth while for me to travel down from the north island:great trip
I was a guest on DI 1102's first excursion to Arthur's Pass.
Wasn't long ago those excursions but man it feels like a decade... can't wait to see the Di back put next year
great memories from driving in kaikoura in the early 80s.cheers.peter barrett.
Good quality video as always nice to see the AKP at the end. Some good spots and decent tonnage in there. 👍
Nice video!
Another comment! We went from Wairoa to Pahiatua for their open day in January many years ago. Had a good look at all the good work they have been doing over many years. Booked a seat from Pahiatua to Woodville in the late afternoon, but the trip was cancelled, so am still looking forward to a ride on RM31 in the future! Picton, South Island.
