Good Riddence 2020... Welcome 2021

 

 DXC 5304 and DFT 7051 lead Dunedin to Middleton Freight 934 through Goodwood on         Christmas Eve 2020. 24/12/2020.

2020... What a year and not in a good way. Bush fires in Australia, a pandemic and no end of other disasters around the world. I'm not sad to see 2020 disappear in the rear view mirror. 
Hopefully as the covid-19 vaccines are rolled out the world will begin its long journey back to some sort of normality but I doubt it will be the same 'normal' we were all used to pre-covid.

I have been fortunate to have a little time off over the festive season and with the recent flooding in Otago a chance to have some quiet time at home. The rainy weather give me a chance to go back through the different pages of my blog. On thing I've realised is that I have really enjoyed sharing my average train photos with the world even though I don't have a big audience. There is nothing better than flicking through historic train photos on a rainy day. By posting these photos online I hope future railfans will be able to do the same and through my photos see what was going on in Otago during the 2010's and now 2020's.

As a new years resolution I have set myself the goal of doing a post every month. 12 posts a year seems like a good target. Unfortunately I don't get the time to chase trains like I used to but I have a few other projects on the go that might be of interest to those visiting the blog. 

So to every one I wish you all the best for 2021.
