Pacing Wab 794 - Porewa, North Island, New Zealand - HD

Pacing Wab 794 from Feilding Steam along State Highway 1 heading north from Porewa towards Rata. The camera was mounted on a tripod in the back seat of the car. I could see the LCD screen in the rear view mirror and I had a friend in the back to tilt it up or down as required.
I couldn't see the window frame in the screen so thought everything was OK.
Nevermind, it's a keeper.

794 is certainly a beautiful looking engine.

Loved your video. It worked out well despite your misgivings.

Well....... how fast was she going? 90-100kph and still picking up speed?

Thanks - it could have been a bit longer, but I was holding up traffic and there was a law enforcement officer heading my way. I decided to pull over before I got told to.

Impressive camera steadiness, too!

Great stuff. To see a train at all in a location where you can pace is great enough, but when it's a steam engine it's just that much better.

ah, ok, I was wondering how fast you were going?
