We left Glenmark Railway Station at 11.30pm and travelled inland through the Weka Pass to Waikari. This took about 45 minutes but along the way the train stopped and we could get off to claim a vantage point whilst the train backed up and steamed up towards us giving an excellent photo opportunity.
Some photos along the way:
When it reaches Waikari it has to turn around so it backs up, changes track and moves forward onto this turntable. This was then turned around and then it was able to back up to rejoin onto the carriages. 
After a break for lunch we left Waikari at 1pm and it was full steam ahead back to Glenmark
