Steam in the City of Sails - Auckland Steam Supreme with Ja 1271

As part of the Glenbrook Vintage Railway's & Steam Incorporated's joint 'Spring Steam Supreme' venture, the GVR held the 'Auckland Steam Supreme' on Saturday 15 October 2022, with Ja 1271, 7 of GVR's yellow cars and 2 of Steam Incorporated's red cars. The day consisted of four return trips around the Auckland 'Around the Block' circuit, commencing from the old Auckland Railway Station (before Britomart opened in 2003) at The Strand, and headed to Otahuhu via the Eastern Line and waterfront, where the locomotive turned on the triangle and returned to The Strand via Penrose and Newmarket. The event was a contrast to the 'Broadway Limited' trips previously run by the GVR & Railway Enthusiast Society with Ja 1250, which ceased in 2005 due to logistical reasons. It was also the first steam train to run the circuit since Ja 1275's 'Rail Safety Week' charter back in August 2014. It's fair to say, it's not very often at all that a steam locomotive runs in the City of Auckland, with J 1211 being the last in 2018. Watch as Auckland puts on a stunning day for Ja 1271 and her sold out trains with the Glenbrook Vintage Railway.
