Taking time out from preparations for next month's vintage rail excursion are representatives from the two rail enthusiast groups, Main Trunk Rail Ohakune (MTRO) and Taumarunui Rail Action Committee ( Trac ), pictured at the Ohakune locomotive turntable. The excursion, which is to celebrate the re-opening ofthe turntable, will see two Ka steam locomotives visit the Ruapehu District, andrun a special double-headed train up the Raurimu Spiral. The trip willbe the first time since 1 966 thatsuch a doubleheader train has been seen on the Spiral, making it a unique experience. MTRO had planned to bring a third locomotive to the area for trips, but is now organising extra carriages for the double header. Tickets for seats on these carriages are on sale now.
