A double ADL set, lead by ADL 803, again heads towards Papakura. (Where's the Britomart bound trains?)

ADC 856 trails the double ADL consist, looking like it has had better days

ADK 687 emerges from the cutting to head onto the embankment at Papakura

DC 4093, probably the most repainted locomotive in the fleet (it's had at least 5 liveries) slows down to stop at a red signal
