Under a threatening looking sky DFT 7051 brings the Northern Explorer north through Paerata. With the Block of line in effect over Easter Weekend between Pukekohe and Wiri, the Northern Explorer makes its way North on the down main. Because of the wrong line running and the fact the train is about to pass through its first work site the train has been reduced to a very slow 10km/h.
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
