DXR8007 Crossing The Rakahuri Bridge, Rangiora
As we had done the previous day, we raced ahead to the Rakahuri Bridge over the Ashley River at Rangiora to wait for the DJ and DG to cross the river. Shortly after arriving, we were caught out by DXC5483 and DXR8007 heading north with 736 freight from Christchurch to Picton. KiwiRail operate a number of containerized freight services between Picton and Christchurch in both directions each day to meet the ferries and keep heavy trucks off the nations winding, narrow highways.
