rode the lovely Glenbrook Vintage Railway on Sunday, which would be a fairly stock standard branch line heritage railway, except it included a photo stop where the train reversed so we could get some good pics. almost impossible to do back home!

A DBR class diesel locomotive hauling a consist of an open passenger car and 3 normal passenger cars past a crowd of people on the grassy mound that is the Shakespeare Road stop. The train reversed back around the curve to let us get our shots

the train approaching from around a curve, framed by huge trees making an arch over the railway line, and long grass in the foreground

the train approaching, with the bright yellow front end standing out brilliantly against the greens and blues in the background

the rear of the train passing through the stop and under the road bridge before reversing back. there's a lovely scene of some kids and an adult watching with excitement from the bridge

the views are pretty par for the course for this kind of peri-urban branch line, but it's got that undulation that can make even boring NZ landscapes look so good

rolling hills interspersed with fences, trees and farmhouses
