Ops! Recovering a locomotive from Picton Harbour

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

A remote control shunting loco recently fell into Harbour while shunting Picton freight yard. Picton is the South Island terminal of the train ferry that links New Zealands North and South Islands Rail system. The loco ran down the train ferry link span and fell into the harbour.

The shunting locos use radio remote control that are controlled by a shunter (human) at the lineside.
