Why dont they have DL'S running that line? Good testing grounds for them.

[@MartyJM01]

It would be, but they don't fit through most of the tunnels on the line between Arthurs Pass and Christchurch.

@@MartyJM01 oh for real so that must be the reason for them not being shipped over, it's the same on the Nal

@@Emmanuel4334 1. DL's are only in the North Island.
2. We have DX's from the North Island, DLs replacing DXs.
3. DXC locomotives have a special vent(s) equipped to travel in the Otira Tunnel, an 8.5km long tunnel. These vents circulate air through improving air quality in the tunnel.
