Christchurch, New Zealand (passenger train heading north main trunk line) - a photo by SteveFitz

Passenger train heading north on the main trunk line this morning just after sunrise. I doubt that the driver could seemuch of anything out the front.
Taken using my favourite old lens .. the Magic Drainpipe.
Very sharp lens ... enlarge and see!

Great capture Steve. I remember it all very well And to think that KiwiRail is still using the same coaches from 80 years ago on the tourist trains. And they still serve meat pies
