TRAVELLERCLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: An unscheduled stophigh on the Trans-Alpine crossing; on track forthe West Coast; another stop provides a chanceto see Brunner mine remains.up above river valleys. We meettunnels, rushing into darkness, thenemerging into broad valleys; flyover viaducts slung high over greygreenrivers; race under steep highmountains soaring above us. Thewindows are full of astonishing land.In high-up country, the train stopsand we pile out to take photos and,again, at Arthur’s Pass, we stop for acuppa. Then it’s down the other side,through the five kilometre-long Otiratunnel, which took 15 years to buildand takes 17 minutes to slide through.Nearer the West Coast, the trainpulls up next to a swing bridge, whichwe trek over to see the remains ofthe Brunner mine, with its brick kilnremnants, rusted equipment andruins etched with industrial history.It's stops like these that providethe true gems of this excursion. Theyreinforce the magic to be found in thedetail of our country and the delightto be had in the journey itself. ←VISITOR INFORMATIONSee www.pukekohetravel.co.nzfor New Zealand chartered railexcursions.
