Drivers Eye View : Otane to Napier

I lived in Rockhampton, Australia for 22+ years. There was a big deal made about the rail line that ran straight up the middle of one of the main streets of the city. I have found, through your videos, that this routing of rail lines and streets is quite common.

I really enjoyed the drivers view trip from Palmerston North to Napier. My dad worked for the Railways, in the 70's and 80's

Having lived as a small fellow in Hastings in the early 1960s, and visiting family friends in the 1960s & 1970s, this video brought back some memories. And yes, I travelled from Hastings to Porirua by train once in the 1970s.

Great Video, Thanks Cameron. this is a wonderful collaboration!

Four great videos. Thank you. A few questions, if I may: 
Are there any trains beyond Napier to Gisborne?
What is the level of service on this line per day/week?
Is there any prospect of passenger trains returning to the line - either regular or tourist?

Great videos, Geoff and Cameron. Have been looking forward to the PNGL being filmed and published at real speed!

Not sure if it's on your radar, but would love to see the Napier-Wairoa line filmed if you ever have the chance?

So relaxing to watch. A couple of times in the 80s, I caught the train to Napier for short holidays.

So, I can assume this NZ?

Sixty years agio, i used to sit alongside the railcar drivers doing that route. Things have changed so much in that time. Strange not seeing the old stations, no trace of them. Except Opapa. A very nostalgic trip for me.

Superb!!!

Goooood
