Very nice work Alex and a very good look back at the rise of both the Onehunga Line and the EMU’s.

 

The electrics hit the Southern Line early to mid next year for us folks down in Papakura. Only then will the EMU’s get a full work out with passenger loadings and being stuck behind pesky freighters 😉
