In part 2 (Springfield to Arthurs Pass, New Zealand, see all the viaducts, bridges and tunnels from the driver s cab. After Springfield the scenery becomes really dramatic as our train follows the Waimakariri River gorge, we cross spindly viaducts over deep ravines, around every corner another awesome vista is revealed. This section of the journey is why the TranzAlpine is one of world s most scenic train rides

Some very nice camera & editing work done on this video. I especially liked the views from the carriages of the rivers & meadows, a nice change from the usual front cab view.
I also appreciate that there was no music, just the natural sounds of the train & rails.

Hi Tim, great videos that bring back happy memories of my trip over the Alps in early December 2015. If you're ever in the UK and want a footplate trip at the Foxfield Railway let me know.
