Een opvallende en unieke verschijning; de EF class van Kiwirail.

Door de energiecrisis in de jaren zeventig besloot de New Zealand Railways de North Island Main Trunk (NIMT), tussen Auckland en Wellington te elektrificeren. Deze elektrificatie vond plaats tussen Palmerston North en Hamilton omdat tussen deze steden door het bergachtige landschap een elektrische locomotief een meerwaarde zou hebben.

In 1986 werd de eerste locomotief, gebouwd door Brush Traction in Loughborough (GB) geleverd. Uiteindelijk zouden er 22 locomotieven geleverd worden.

Een sprong in de tijd naar 2025 leert dat er van de oorspronkelijke 22 locomotieven nog 15 over zijn. In 2018 was het plan om de hele serie af te voeren en de nieuwe DL diesellocomotieven het werk te laten doen, echter maakte de overheid kapitaal beschikbaar waardoor de locomotieven gereviseerd konden worden. Inmiddels zijn 9 van de 15 locomotieven gereviseerd, van inzet is helaas weinig sprake, het zijn toch de DL diesels die op de NIMT domineren. Het is zelfs zo erg dat het geen uitzondering is als de EF locomotieven ruim twee weken geen enkele inzet hebben. Dit komt doordat de locomotieven met veel defecten kampen en omdat het erg onpraktisch is om twee keer van locomotief te moeten wisselen.

Bij het depot in Palmerston North stonden op 25 oktober locomotieven 30203 en 30042 te wachten op een inzet. Voor de vorm werden de frontseinen met fotoshop even aangezet. Deze locomotieven zijn tevens ook de voorloper van de Eurotunnel Class 9, welke voor de Eurotunnel Shuttle worden gebruikt.

The LEGO Gymnasts get to play mini-golf after their morning training session. They're happy to get out of the gym for awhile and enjoy the beautiful spring scenery :-) It's already starting to get hot and humid here, so it's good that they got out to enjoy the nicer weather.

I started with the LEGO Friends Mini Golf Polybag (30203) and added the trees, flowers etc to make the scene :-)

Clean, green and efficient but ageing EFs 30071 and 30203 with DXB 5016 dead in tow bring a lengthy train 225 around the volcanic plateau in the middle of the North Island Main Trunk in the rain.

While the current government shows no stinginess in pouring billions into new roading projects, it thinks a far more sensible approach with rail is to revert this line to diesels. The alternative would be to overhaul these thirty year old Brush-built locos and add 80kms of wire to electrify the railway between Te Rapa with Pukekohe.

Such is the short-sightedness of the Beehive's current incumbents. Oh, and by the way they won't remove the overhead... instead keeping it powered to prevent theft. Brilliant.

Planmäßig auf die Minute wieder wie gestern verkehrt der gemischte Güterzug von Auckland nach Wellington. Im Kreuzungsbahnhof musste er den Northern Explorer abwarten bevor er seine Fahrt fortsetzen konnte.

First Manchester 30203 (F280 DRJ) in heritage livery guise, pretending to be Salford Corporation number 280. Sadly, although really smart in appearance and a really fitting tribute when freshly applied, by the time this photo was taken things were more than a little shabby.

A pair of EF Class locomotives guide train 225 southwards through Ohakune Station. 30203 is leading, wearing the present day KiwiRail colour scheme The trailing unit (30071) is painted in the TranzRail "bumblebee" scheme, albeit without the large "TR" logos worn by her classmates.

The section of the North Island Main Trunk between Te Rapa and Palmerston North is electrified and some of the freight trains on this section are hauled by the EF Class electrics, whilst others are hauled by diesels (avoiding the need to switch locomotives twice between Auckland and Wellington).

In December 2016, it was announced that the class were to be withdrawn and replaced with DL Class diesel-electric locomotives.
