NZ Rail Cab View Real Time: Ohakune to National Park

By popular request, real-time cab footage with audio*, from a freight train in New Zealand, as it travels from Ohakune to National Park, part 2 of a journey from crew change at Waiouru in the Central North Island, to the Te Rapa yard in Hamilton.

In this video we drive over the Hapuawhenua Viaduct (2:30) and Makatote Viaduct (24:50).

Audio will be muted during radio calls and Locomotive Engineer signal calls, to protect the privacy of all involved.
