Driving west in a golf cart on train tracks in New Zealand

Duration: 11m 32s

The highlight of the St. James Rail tour to New Zealand's North Island in February 2018 was undoubtedly the 4 days driving a modified golf cart along an unused rail line through 24 tunnels and over 98 bridges for a distance of 140 km. And took 30 years to build!

The journey is through a very scenic section of New Zealand, and an area of low population density.

And the best part - driving on a train line, seeing the driver's view!
