New Zealand Government Railways Class Ja1266 - Train 149 southbound ex Middleton Christchurch - Ashburton - 28Feb1969 - 04054xxn

After several days chasing steam on the West Coast it was over to the eastern side of the South Island and to chase train 149 from Middleton(Christchurch) south as far as Ashburton. One of the large Kb class was rostered for the run but unfortunately last minute changes saw an exceedingly grubby smaller Ja1266 on the head. So be it as that was our last chance and we were booked on the Christchurch to Picton overnight mixed Train No111 "TheCabbage Train"
