What monkey disliked this video! there is always a muppet with half a brain that enjoys hitting dislikes for no reason. Brilliant video mate! wish I could go for a ride in the front cab, how much would this cost me?

Went though the tunnel the other day ...first timer. Train got up a fair speed though the tunnel

Great video. I used to live in Masterton 31 years ago. Now in Sydney. Whenever I go back to Masterton I always enjoy the ride through the Rimutaka tunnel. Great wlak or pushbike ride also on the old Rimutaka incline. Recommend it!!

Similar question to the painted arches...in the Tawa no 2 tunnel there is one of these arches but with a light in it.Is this sort of access way?

Great vid, is it an uphill grade to Maymorn from that end or slight downhill?

What are those white painted arches on the left for?
AngelicPhantom 7 months ago
@AngelicPhantom Those are small arch ways, built for people (generally workers) to hide inside incase a train were to come through the tunnel. I guess that they have been painted white for people to easily see them. Thanks for watching and sorry for the late response.

Phew this really brings back lovely memories of my former footplate days. Especially at about 12.35 where the LE makes a small brake application then bleeds off the Independent to release the loco brakes and keep her nicely stretched out. Gives the passengers behind a good ride too. Noisy VD but one gets to live with that. Thanks a mill for memories and the posting.

@johnparkimp3. Thanks for looking and for commenting, glad that you got some enjoyment out of my video! Too right about that VD, all the VD lights were broken too, except for that little one on the B side door so the whistle kept sounding. (Where's some bubble gum for the whistle when you need it hey?) Which lines were you riding? Thanks again for looking Cheers
