DBR 1254 & Da's 1410 & 1431 - MOUNTAIN THUNDER (HD)

Following on from Steam Incorporated's 50th birthday trips in June 2022, a joint trip was organised on Saturday 6th August 2022 with the Glenbrook Vintage Railway, to further celebrate Steam Inc's anniversary and the many years of friendship between the two groups. The excursion ran from Paekakariki to Raurimu & return, and was a diesel powered triple header in the form of DBR 1254 & Da's 1410 & 1431, with a total of 20 carriages - the biggest passenger train New Zealand has seen for many years! This video captures the weekend's activities and the sweet sights & sounds of the three 2-stroke EMD's, working hard together up the steeply graded sections of the North Island Main Trunk!
