Whats happened since? I've moved on from Hutt, had a very very brief sojourn in Palmerston north loco depot, before moving back home to Napier to start a new career path as a Rail operator. Since then I've progressed to mainline RCO and have now started training as a locomotive engineer. Six job titles in eight years with KiwiRail. Maybe I've earned the title railwayman by now?
Anyway, The DSLR doesn't come out as much these days. However the fast growing capabilities of the camera that fits in your pocket (and I think you can make phone calls with it?) have seen a few pics snapped off over the last couple of years, so i thought I would share some on here of roles past before I progress on.
Whilst I am no longer an RCO by job title i'll be maintaining my ticket, and filling in on the shunt when the yard gets short. I really enjoy that aspect of Napier - as quite a small team many of us are multi-skilled, and can cover multiple positions when required. On writing this I have been R/O all week - back to the roots!
