Скачать или смотреть To Ruatangata & Return With JB1236 At Whanganui Vintage Weekend 2019

#WhanganuiVintageWeekend #MainlineSteam #JB1236 JB1236 leads an excursion train from Whanganui to Ruatangata and back again in New Zealand. It was one of the attractions on offer at Whanganui Vintage Weekend 2019.

With this video, my wife Sylwia was on board the train and recorded her viewpoint on her phone. After capturing the departure, I followed in the car and recorded the locomotive running around its train in the Ruatangata Loop in the Whangaehu Valley.

The crossing loop named Ruatangata is at the 21Km peg on the Marton - New Plymouth line. The goods shed that you can see, dates from 1947 when this part of the line, known as the Turakina Deviation, was opened.

Whanganui Vintage Weekend has been running in various forms since March 2001. It celebrates Whanganui's heritage by holding street parties and themed festivals. Heritage operator Mainline Steam first sent a train to participate in the festivities in 2013.

1236 was built by North British Locomotive Works in 1939. It was given the makers number 24559 and delivered to New Zealand in March 1940. More info through this link;
