- Cab view through the 8566 metre long Otira Tunnel in New Zealand's South Island.
The Otira Tunnel is New Zealand's 3rd longest rail tunnel :
Kaimai - 8879 m - opened 12 September 1978 - near Apata on the East Coast Main Trunk railway line to Tauranga, the longest rail tunnel in New Zealand.
Rimutaka - 8798 m - opened 3 November 1955 - between Upper Hutt (Wellington) and Featherston (Wairarapa), replaced the Rimutaka Incline, a Fell mountain railway, the longest tunnel in New Zealand that carries regular passenger trains.
Otira - 8566 m - opened 1923 - between Arthur's Pass and Otira, in the Southern Alps / Kā Tiritiri o te Moana on the transalpine Midland line - continuous 1 in 33 grade - electrified until 1997.
We did the Trans-Alpine last year. Great ride. Excellent commentary as you do the trip. Many other small tunnels along the route. Recommend this for everyone.
Spectacle and awesome long journey. 🙏🌹🙏🙏🙏🌹🙏🙏🙏

Drivers view 4.3 KMs under ground hear the dynamics fans whistling in the background
Wow thanks for the ride 😅
What a boring video! It was great - thanks!
That light is a purple indicator, tunnel door is open

How do you get permission to put cameras on the front of the loco?
Would be keen to know this too. 👍

No repeaters are through the tunnel, actually on channel 14 you can base call Wellington and talk to them clearly
