https://youtu.be/NrLzhPbbtiY

This is a 41 minute documentary showcasing Mainline Steam's Winter excursions for 2014 from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass behind New Zealand's most powerful operating steam locomotive Ka 942. Travel along this scenic line along the Canterbury Plains into the spectacular Southern Alps. This route is known as the Midland Line. Back in the days of steam Kb class locomotives ruled the rails between Christchurch and Arthur's Pass hauling goods and passenger trains. One of these locomotives has been preserved number 968 which is now currently stored at the Mainline Steam Christchurch depot. This route is known as Kb country. We include line side, pacing and on board shots. We also look at the Saturday before the excursion when the loco was being prepared for the big trip the next day. Finally to end this presentation we see the loco return to Mainline Steam and being turned and shut down which brings an end to the Winter Excursion Season. Enjoy the thunder, sound, smoke and steam as 942 powers her excursion trains through the most spectacular scenery in New Zealand. Enjoy!
