1236, On the Trunk

Mainline Steam's oil burning J makes a brisk run from Palmerston North to National Park, 25 August 2018.

The echo coming back off the hills once the loco rounds the corner is neat, aaahhh the memories, the smell and the steam, especially coal.

I know it's only a small error and probably a typo and not able to be edited now but 6:24 is Turangarere. It's hard work for any loco coming around here, it's known locally as the Horse Shoe. I Drove thru here going backwards and forwards to work every weekday for 24 years lol

The Waikune shot is what i'd call, a million dollar shot.

Thanks. Waiting for a cheque in the mail. Was rushed to get that one as thought they were stopping at Ohakune hence had to film from roadside with all traffic noise and that car horn. Grrrrr!!!!

One the best in a long while!

I had a few close encounters 1236 , with a shovel when it was down South .

Great video - well done. Impressive sound - she was opened well out at times. You must have had to moved fast to keep up with it.

[@nickthorp1624]

ive seen coal trains make less smoke, injectors must be clogged or something for it to smoke like that. otherwise very cool to see

[@philipdrummond4134]

What do you mean by that

[@nickthorp1624]

@@philipdrummond4134 its an oil fired train, and the amount of soot it boots out means the oil isn't burning properly
