Head above Carisbrook with a loaded train. The new embankment,
known for years as the "Scotsman's grandstand" because
of those who used it to watch rugby and cricket without paying
for entry to the grounds, is finally being prepared so that a
single track main line can be moved over onto it to allow the
new Southern Motorway to use the rail corridor through the old
Cavsersham station which the DIs will pass in under a minute. |
|
 |
| DIs 1808
and 1814 return past Carisbrook with empties shortly afterwards.
The previous pic was taken from the hill top left of this one |
|
 |
| DIs 1814
and 1837 were the last two DIs in Dunedin as the other three
moved north, and they ran almost all the stone trains until 1837
suffered a massive engine failure in 1985 and was written off
Here they pass Pelichet bay and head under Anzac St and into
Dunedin station |

| A lovely
scene for me to model... |

| 1814 and
1837 in front of Dunedin station on a mizzley day |

 |
| A less
common viewpoint of Sawyers Bay. Here the train is about to head
into the Roseneath Tunnel. |

| 1814 and
3096 above Carisbrook on the old alignment with the former main
road in the foreground. |
|
 |
| 1837 and
1814 near Seacliff |
|
 |
| 1837, 1814
and van approach Caversham - obviously no empties to be picked
up today. |
|
 |
| A rare
shot of the Burnside works where the wagons were unloaded using
a wagon tippler at the very far right. Hunslett DSA 632 and
another blue Hunselett were owned by the works when it closed. |
|
 |
| Empties
arrive into the Dunedin yard. This scene is quite different now
as the main lines have been moved closer to the camera and
commercial developments have sprung up between it and Cumberland
street |

is out at Merton |
