Another round of earth quakes hit Christchurch on June 13th.. closing down the train that I was to be taking only two days later. Thankfully however the train opened back up one day earlier than expected allowing me to enjoy the TranzAlpine train trip through Arthur’s Pass that I had wanted to do for quite awhile. I had been waiting to do this trip until the weather had gotten colder so there would be snow on the mountains.
I spent most of the trip in a carriage at the back of the train where you can stand outside. Being as cold as it was I was the only one out there most of the time enjoying the view and cool, crisp air as the train traveled through mountain tunnels, across bridges, beside rivers and then eventually through the Canterbury Plains..
