Train Race
After being stuck behind this late-running train at the road crossing at Maheno, I set sail southwards towards what has become my favourite spot along the Shag Point coast.
Not being sure whether I'd suddenly stop to take a shot en-route, I ended up remaining behind a truck for most of the way and as I pulled off almost half an hour later, I figured I'd have plenty of time to get my act together when the scanner barked into life with 925's Hillgrove radio call.
Hillgrove being only a few miles to the north, I had to sprint into action to effect some mild trespassing over a farm gate with my stilts. And to think that I'd only just been worrying that there might only be another ten minutes of sun...
Clean duo DFB 7241 and DC 4012 are doing a good job keeping the roads clear just north of Shag Point with the Katiki Point lighthouse and Yellow Eyed Penguin colony in the distance. In a few minutes the train will stop at Bushey for a crossing and crew change with 926.

Just to annoy the the purists, I did remove a powerline in the top left corner and a haybale or three. Hardly committing a Burkholder I'm thinkin'
