Double DXB Locomotives hauling northbound Saturday Freight Service

The only daytime weekend northbound freight service between Invercargill and Dunedin runs on a Saturday afternoon.
A added bonus was capturing the DSG 3170 shunt locomotive.

are they using those tanks for cement or gas cartage ??

[@TravellingRailSpotter]

Hi, neither, they are used to cart the resin (glue) for the manufacture of Medium Density Fibreboard.

One hopes the train was picking up more tonnage enroute?

[@TravellingRailSpotter]

No, that is it.

@@TravellingRailSpotter Must have had some important tonnage in the train...ie the first wagon.

@bnrailfannz8262 they require a runner wagon as other wise the cow catchers will foul each other.
