DL 9400 hauls train MP5 across Waikato River at Hamilton

This locomotive class were built especially to KiwiRail design specifications by CNR Dalian and were among the first diesel locomotives exported from China to a western railroad. While generally well regarded by loco engineers they are not so well liked by rail fans. The line through Hamilton was lowered in the 1960s with the original bridge to the left now used by road traffic.
