3rd March 2024.
This was my first work train for the year (WT 20), Rail recovery. Between Taihape and Waiouru.
Taumarunui

Had a look through the rail museum, while I waited at Taumarunui for the Northen Explorer (Dora, train 201). This was the first time I had gotten all the way to Taumarunui this year.
First Northen Explorer for 2024.
4th February 2024.
This was my first Northern Explorer (200) for 2024. It was meant to be last Thursday, but it has been cancelled for the last few days, with brake issues. So, I've been on ARSH for 3 days. P Nth to Nat Park.
First Capital Connection for 2024.
18th January 2024.
My first Capital Connection (1203)/passenger train for 2024 today. P Nth to Wellington. Also got photos of DXB 5080 in Wellington yard before it headed to the workshops.
My First Job for 2024.
5th January 2024.
My first unofficial day back at work for 2024. I was officially back to work on Wednesday the 3rd, but I was on standby both Wednesday and Thursday and didn't get a phone call. But I got called in tonight to cover the depot drivers job from 2000hrs to 0400hrs. So since all I'm doing is taking a few locos on and off trains and filling up rental cars. I thought I would have a walk around the P Nth depot and get some photos.
