As the bell rings and the whistle blows, you’ll feel your back in a time when all touring was first class. This modern road train feels every bit like an old-fashioned steam engine, with a romantic atmosphere straight out of the opulent 1930’s. The commentary covers from the 1931 earthquake through development of the region to modern points of interest including lifestyle of the city today with personal stories of life from the 5th generation local owners.
