I learnt that for 4 days, this iconic train was running between Christchurch and Dunedin return. It is a luxury train with wide windows, a dining car and very comfy seats so it's no wonder it was completely sold out for all its offers! I knew it was coming through around 10.30 to 11.00.ish so walked along the 50 metres from our house to the overhead bridge. I froze there standing for over 50 minutes before it finally arrived in my position. I had organised the camera to go on 'sport' and didn't know what happened. It apparently just kept taking shots. I was so pleased with the quality.
Super shot maggie. Your wait was well worth it. Small wide carriages….it shows the bend off beautifully. We have seen train journeys in NZ on our travel programmes.
