Christchurch, New Zealand (am double headed mixed train bustles out) - a photo by SteveFitz

32/10/09 at 7.30 am, this double headed mixed train bustles out of the Christchurch rain heading south to Dunedin, 230 miles away. In the distant background is one of the new fangled diesel/electric locos that are becoming more prevelent on the main line these days here in NZ.
Needs to be seen enlarged and you will see the driver looking at me as I took the pic.
