A train trip between Porirua (New Zealand) and Paraparaumu.

It isn't as polished as I'd like (partly due to inexperience & using analogue gear at the time it was initially recorded) and is an attempt to clean up footage mainly sourced from (original) VHS copies of long-lost camera tapes

Enjoy!

  • Electric trains I see. We don't have those here up in Auckland.

  • @Intawebin Not yet, apparently. The line in the video has been electrified since the late 1930s. Electrification was extended north to Waikanae relatively recently, and local services were similarly extended in February 2011.

    One memory from my younger days is of seeing a steam train at Ellerslie station, circa 1964. I also traveled on a passenger train hauled by an electric locomotive between Heathcote & Lyttleton (Christchurch) in 1967. Christchurch lost their electric trains in 1970
