Running 543 for 526 the next couple of days.
Had 4467 + 5120 + 5114 on 543 this morning and went to Kai Iwi to get 526, which I ran through to Stratford. Very routine today and not much to report.
The poor old DC's are really starting to show their age, and the non Kiwi Rail painted ones are looking really tatty, well used and well past their expiry date.
But I think just like their domestic USA bretheren, another rebuild and they would go again for another 10 years. Old GM's just dont seem to die.

Still, I will diligently record as many as I can - they will be gone soon enough and I will no doubt lament not getting more photos of them if I didnt.
Hoping 4070 makes and appearance tomorrow..... word has it its been slated to be the first DC to be retired once the nod is given....
