Wellington Locoyard Visit - 11th April 2004

12th April 2004

This collection of pictures illustrates some of the locomotives that were in the yards at Wellington on 11th April 2004. The main purpose of the visit was to capture the two refurbished DC locomotives before they moved north to Auckland to take up duties on the suburban network.

Since their official launch at Auckland on 23 April, DC4415 has been adorned on its cabside with the name "Gwendoline" (after Gwen Bull, Chairperson of the Auckland Regional Council). DC4035 has similarly been named "Jo" after Jo Brosnahan, believed to be another Councillor.
