Steam on Parade - full program 2009-2010

Steam locomotives are a drawcard for young and old, and whenever these machines get fired up for public display, the crowds are sure to gather. This production showcases three such locomotives: Feilding Steam’s Wab 794, Steam Incorporated’s JA 1271 and Mainline Steam’s J 1211. We begin our trackside journey at Feilding, where The Overlander commences it’s leg to Taihape behind Wab 794. However during the winter of 2010, Mainline Steam’s J 1211 was used when the Wab was unavailable. We follow this special run on several occasions to capture some spectacular steam rail action in some equally spectacular scenery. Along the way to Taihape, we’ll capture both Wab 794 and J 1211 hauling The Overlander from numerous locations. The program concludes with JA 1271 hauling an excursion from Paekakariki to Woodville via the North Island Main Trunk to Palmerston North, through the Manawatu Gorge to Woodville and return. We capture the action starting at Palmerston North, chasing the excursion to Woodville and then returning to farewell the train at Palmerston North again.
