| Introduction | Hi, I’m Michael - a lifelong rail enthusiast with a camera in one hand, a coffee in the other, and a soft spot for railways, transport, and industrial history. Based in Otago, New Zealand, I’ve been fascinated by trains since childhood, and that curiosity has grown into a passion for documenting journeys, spotting locomotives and rolling stock, and exploring rail and industrial history across Aotearoa New Zealand. This blog is where I share my reseach, photo essays, and reflections from the tracks - whether it’s a day trip aboard Te Huia, a closer look at an industrial building, or a nostalgia-fueled visit to a station I haven’t seen in years. I write for fellow railfans who love the whine of traction motors, the clunk of couplers, and the stories behind the steel. Whether you're here to reminisce over liveries past, learn about industrial history, or just enjoy a bit of armchair railfanning, welcome aboard. |
