Ongarue Route
Here is one in a series of pics from the NZR Ongarue route. For those who don't know where Ongarue is, it is on the N.I.M.T. approx 25km north of Taumaranui and before TeKuiti. The daily passenger service to Auckland passes via Ongarue, but I doubt if it stops there anymore. Ongarue was once a busy timbermilling town, its demise began in the 1960's when the Ellis and Burnand mill was closed.
The daily run out to the bush camps leaving from the mill. This Climax loco is the updated version for TS12, sadly still no cab.
