Main trunk trekker 2009

A video showing highlights of Mainline Steams 'Main Trunk Trekker' excursion from Auckland to National Park, New Zealand.

Pulled by oil fired Ja1275, the 6 carriage train took passengers down the North Island, where they were picked up from National Park Station, and bused to the Chateau for a buffet lunch, before returning later on that day.
