I didn't manage to see any EFs on my last visit to NZ so it was great to see them on your video. The colour scheme really suits them.

Great Video, The EF's look great in the Yellow and Blue, shame those Grubby DL's have to babysit the EF's. The EF's looks pleased to be back and very much at home pulling freight over the steep inclines of the NIMT Line, thanks for sharing

Nice! I was considering OIAing Kiwirail to find out why they'd gone so quiet on the EFs since 2022, now I don't have to!

They were pulled from service all but 5 Over 2023, they had a lot of problems with infrastructure, which stopped them from running, and then they were breaking down some thanks to the infrastructure.

Great to see 192 and 232 out there actually on a train. I will be keeping an eye on 234 and 225 passing through Taumarunui using Class 30 power up front.

Sparks are normal. Train numbers and timetables are common knowledge for me. There are timetables, but I'm not sure about it being public, though..

Class 30's are back. They are on the front of Train 234 heading north through Taumarunui . (163 and 232?) 2 DL's are on the train as well. I guess the Class 30's will be back on Train 225 tomorrow.

how many EF locos are re furbished mate, looking good
I must be the only person who dislikes the livery. But what's important is that the EF's are coming back, which is great news, even if it's probably only for about a decade. Hopefully Kiwirail are able to replace them with new electric locomotives come ~2035.

@@KiwiRailSpotter I just reckon it looks brash and fugly. But don't mind me. I'm someone who thinks that they should bring back the old fruit salad/international orange livery and 1970s-80s logo, ditching the 2008 fern logo & text.

@danieleyre8913 That's alright. Im very thrilled to see them nice and clean, and the blue looks so nice through the King country, The livery is slightly different on all of them, too, takes a keen eye to spot the differences. We'll have to wait and see what they do with 30007. I've heard a few things about it.

So let me understand this. Two thirds of the main line is electrified and only uses 4 electric locomotives? Would it not be beneficial to completely finish off the electrification and have electric passenger ops as well as freight :D
@KiwiRailSpotter
4 ай бұрын
Probably would be but who knows why it wasn't And there are only 5 (almost 6) locos because they're undergoing refurbishment... As for passenger we'll have to wait and see.

Why do kiwi rail tow two diesel engines through the middle section
@KiwiRailSpotter

In this video It was because the EFs were being signed off, and they were only going as far as taihape, so 234 locos continued the train north. 251 had already been sent out with DLs and shunted with tangiwai. The EFs stayed at Taihape to be added to the front on the way back. If you're referring to the past few months, they are backup locos in case the EFs have faults.

Pity KiwiRail didn’t think to retrofit them for 1,500v DC, then they could have been used south of Palmerston North, with the OLE being energised at either 25Kva or 1,500v DC to Waikanae. No”joined up” thinking in KiwiRail or NZ for that matter.

Have you tried running two 2000W oil fin heaters and three electric kettles on a single power board? That's what'll happen to the Wellington overhead if you ran EFs on it. It barely supports the EMUs in some places, as is. Just cos there's a wire doesn't mean it's an infinite source of free power.
