This locomotive came to New Zealand in the 1920's. I am not sure when it 'retired' . It has been restored by our local Steam & Rail Society and now does short scenic trips along the coastline.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
All aboard! :)
I really like this shot. It reminds me of the locomotives that they use at Disney World to take you around the Magic Kingdom. Your perspective lines are great, making it look like the train might just come out of my monitor. I bet it made a great sound too... chug-a-lug-a-chug-a-lug-a... choo choo!
Thanks for posting it!

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
This is a wonderful bit of nostalgia! I have never seen this train, but I can picture it quite well! Memories of my childhood and the old coal trains..........

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

Be impeccable with your word, don't make assumptions and always do your best
Lovely old train. You captured it very well and the angle of the shot is pleasing. I love stories of old restored things, of good things about the past not forgotten.
