Main Line Steam in NZ
- As regular main line steam operations around the globe are being phased out, New Zealand has become the country that can provide a selection of steam locomotives operating in spectacular scenery that allows railfans numerous photo opportunities on the main line. Each year Ian Welch's Mainline Steam Trust caters for railfans who travel from around the world to experience travelling the length of New Zealand over 14 days behind beautifully restored steam locomotives. The final day of the tour saw Ab 663 head the excursion from Wellington to Ohakune where Ja 1275 took over for the remainder of the run to Auckland, a 680 kilometre dash, that hadn't been achieved by steam in a single day since February 1965. Duration - 62 minutes.
