The long distance train in Te Maunga, Tauranga


When I'm at work there's a train that rattles past 2-3 times a day, at night when I'm walking out to my car around 5.30pm it goes past again and last night I managed to catch it - this one was loaded with many wooden logs.  Since it's winter here we've been getting cold cold nights and sunny days - this shot I caught a sunbeam directly in my camera lens.


This one is when it had gone past, the track goes for quite a long distance through the countryside via several towns and includes the bridge in Tauranga city itself near The Strand.

Nice shots. I hope the train doesn't create much noise in the surrounding housese.

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
