Ohakune Junction
to Fielding
31st October 2007
On the way to
Ohakune Junction some of us visited the spot where the last spike was driven in
to complete the North Island Main Trunk line. The schedule today was easy with
numerous stops planned for crossing or passing freights and several of us were
given passes for cab rides. In the event some freight services had been delayed
elsewhere so we had time to stop for some extra run pasts, two of which occurred
while I was in the cab. On arrival at Fielding , where the train would stable
for the night, we would be able to visit the workshops before transferring to
our hotel in Palmerston North.
