Today marks a year since starting my career in rail - For most people that means sick leave entitlements... yea it means that for me too. But it was an interesting year none the less so I thought I should cap it up with a few pictures. Yes, just a few.
I started off my time in group 10 - Locomotive bogies. After the first few months in the welding bay I finished up my time there overhauling DX bogies, repetitive work but with a good bunch of guys. More recently I have been in group 14 - Out of course overhaul. Engine changes, turbos, bogie work, generator changes, blowers, fuel tanks, you name it - we do it. Really varied work with a good amount of problem solving puts it right up my alley!

Scrapping came with a vengeance this year; a sad end to an interesting era in Wellington rail. (Note to self: take more photos)
Other things disappeared from the rail scene also - must win lotto and buy a boat...
Then there are the ones in hibernation - for now.
One for my favorite projects in my time in group 14. mmmm mitsi.
Alas - I've reached the picture limit. Someone remind me to do a part II tomorrow.
