Pulp train climbing into snow covered Waiouru - HD

New Zealand's KiwiRail pulp train from Karioi climbing into Waiouru two days after a heavy snow fall. Mild temperatures melted a lot of the snow the day after it fell, but there's still some left on the ground. In the background you can just glimpse Mt Ruapehu.

Some of the wagons are from the newly installed Tangiwai siding and contain timber products.

Recognised the location immediately. I've stood here opposite Waiouru station before and filmed the same train (in the summer!). Waiouru in the winter is definitely on my agenda though.

@zelo1954 Normally I wouldn't have my vanishing point so close to the centre of the frame, but I wanted to include as much of mt Ruapehu as I could in the shot - even though it was cloaked in cloud.

how old is this footage??

[ejvideos07]

@zes01 About nine or 10 months old. I uploaded it soon after filming it.
