International Railroad Discussion > Kiwi RailroadingDate: 05/15/18 20:19 Kiwi Railroading Author: Utahfannz 'Daa: class EMD G12's. These were "Da" class 1400 HP units converted for hump shunting at TeRapa in the North Island.
The Hump operation closed many years ago Date: 05/16/18 16:53 Re: Kiwi Railroading Author: DKay Were these ever used on commuter trains?I seem to remember something similar doing commuter duties while I was there in the mid 70's.
Regards,dK Date: 05/16/18 17:48 Re: Kiwi Railroading Author: Utahfannz Yes the units did run commuter services, or I should say the "Da" class
from 1430 onwards to 1545 with Dafasco bogies. The older "Da"s were restricted to 30mph with prefabricated bogies' Cheers thanks for looking. |
