Steam Train Puffs Back

Train News: New Zealand

Vintage steam locomotive WAB794 puffed back into service after 43 years on 27 August 2005.

The 78 year old steam locomotive returns to the North Island of New Zealand’s main trunk line as part of a tourism experiment. The historic steam locomotive pulled Tranz Scenic’s Overlander carriages 200 km from Feilding (near Palmerston North) to Ohakune and back. The journey took passengers through some of New Zealand’s most beautiful countryside.
