Double Thunder Steam Excursion & Ja 1271 North to Glenbrook

On 17 April 2011, Ja 1271 from Paekakariki and Ja 1250 from Glenbrook Vintage Railway double headed a 13 total train between Waiuku and Hamilton. This was also the first time in 40 years that two Hillside built Ja's have worked a train together.

I managed to get footage of the double header, and Ja 1271 heading north to Glenbrook in the morning.

List of trains and locations:
1: Ja 1271 northbound at Horotiu yard.
