DC 4415 accelerates out of Ranui Station

[RootbrianRocksAgain]

it's like seeing a streetcar being pulled by a diesel engine.

[OK2BCK]

raw power!

[Lvaneede]

Its funny to see a diesel engine on a train like that. It just looks so out of place.

[IrishWoodDoctor]

i love the sound of a diesel engine.

[FrontSideBus]

Nice looking loco, reminds me of the old BR Class 20.

[alexnefi]

o.o what's the logic in a diesel train going along a line that is electrified

[RODALCO2007]

@alexnefi The electrification is not commissioned yet.

[alexnefi]

@RODALCO2007 How efficient xD

[slamdvw]

Heh... railfan videos. Gotta love 'em. I've got some on my channel as well. Interesting to see the engines on the rear of the train.

[RODALCO2007]

@slamdvw push pull services in Auckland. The loco pulls when the train goes back the other way.

I really dig those high-voltage line signs.

[RODALCO2007]

@SigEpBlue 25 kV !

[SigEpBlue]

@RODALCO2007 (8-0 25kVDC?!? And only five meters above the ground (if I'm interpreting the sign correctly, of course)?  Awesome! I wonder what kind of ohmic losses they have had to deal with.

[RODALCO2007]

@SigEpBlue I think it is 5 metersto the wire, max. legal road height is 4.25 meters. 

[RODALCO2007]

@SigEpBlue 25 kV AC 50 Hz

[CarAudioGuy21]

make the most of them while they are still around Auckland

[RODALCO2007]

@CarAudioGuy21 Yeh, I like the V 12 diesels growling about. and a loco hauled train looks better than a DMU or EMU.

We may get some Class 30's in Auckland, who knows ?!

[datastreamnz]
