Description

MAIN TRUNK CENTURY - The Grand Train Ride.

From the team that produced the internationally award-winning Memory Line series comes a new documentary celebrating the centenary of the 1908-2008 North Island, New Zealand Main Trunk Railway, one of the last great engineering triumphs from the frontier days of the age of steam.

In 1908 the first passenger train ran non stop from Wellington to Auckland known as the 'Parlimentary Special' as it hauled parlimentarians and dignitaries to Auckland to welcome Roosevelt's "American Great White Fleet" to Auckland Harbour. In 2008 this historic jourmey was re-enacted and documented by the Memory Line team, interlaced with historic flashbacks and srories from the original 20 hour journey.

Review by DAVID on 27th March, 2012
5 stars "This video is far too good to not see."

This video contains so much in not only scenery but places of interest that only can be shown in a video form, do not miss seeing this video, interesting for ALLĀ ages.
