Riding Behind Ab 663 On The Castlecliff Industrial Line
(New Zealand) An 'Ab' class steam locomotive ventures along the Castlecliff Line, the first Ab to do so since 1966.
Ab 663 (normally based at the 'Mainline Steam' depot in Plimmerton) visited Wanganui for a Paddles & Steam weekend with a trainset borrowed from 'Fielding Steam & Rail'. While in Wanganui, it ran three short excursion trips for locals including a trip on the Castlecliff Industrial Line.
This video was filmed from the open platform of the guards van behind the tender of the locomotive as the train travelled from the Wanganui Freight Yard to a loop at 'Molten Metals' a distance of just over 4 km.
(It was a joke among the locals that 663 was off to the scrap yard!)
The locomotive's presence in the town created much excitement.
Normally the Castlecliff line is used by plain looking container trains hauled by diesel-electric locomotives. So it was a thrilling sight to see a steam locomotive and some passenger cars on this recently reopened branch line.
Many people lined their home's front porches and driveways to witness something completely different passby through their suburb.
The line is made up of light 57 pound rail in some places with heavier 70 & 85 pound rail on some of the curves. There is an overall speed restriction of 25 km/hr in place.
Ab 663 represents the heaviest steam locomotive class to have worked on the line in the age of steam.
There were some notable firsts achieved with the train in this video;
-This is the first excursion train on the branch since Easter 1993. (on that occasion Dc 4369 was accompaning the old 'Capital Connection' set)
-Ab 663 is the first steam locomotive to travel this branch since F 163 was in town in November 1990.
-This was the first excursion on this line since the line's rehabilitation in 2011. (The line had been mothballed since 2002)
-BUT the big piece of news that was on everybody's lips today, was that this was the first visit by an 'Ab' Class Pacific locomotive on the Castlecliff line since about 1966.
The roads were busy with heaps of public finding vantage points along the line to enjoy the simple past time of watching a train roll by. A younger generation happily held their iphone cameras towards the steam visitor.
Today's visit by 663 was an experience to remember and was history in the making.

Rotorua and the surrounding area, New Zealand
Rotorua the health resort with bowling ladies near the hot spring Rachel. Everywhere in this town the sulphur- and rotten-eggs-smell. But also nearby very nice warm and hot pools in the Waikite (clear water) Valley. And ... also a special geyser Lady Knox, that one brings every day at 10.15 hours up to life. It is named after Lady Constance Knox, the second daughter of Uchter Knox, 15th Governor of New Zealand.
The Taupo Vulcanic zone becomes in the Warakei Geothermal Powerstation also used to produce electricity with steam from the fluids in more than 200 digged wells.
And to cool down we visit the wild Huka Falls.
