Kiwirail 841 F empty coal train (Christchurch - Sargent's Hill) departing Arthurs Pass after attaching the Otira Tunnel banker engines. All east bound trains are banked through the tunnel due to the 1:33 gradient. To save time often the banker engines are attached to the next west bound service to get them back through to Otira where they will be detached & prepared for the next east bound service. Due to the training and to meet safety regulations there is a full team of locomotive engineers who are specifically trained that take all trains through the tunnel.
