coal-fired steam trains may be an answer to the looming diesel shortage in NZ?

The problem of course is that there are not many operational steam locos in NZ now, but there would be enough to handle the long distance passenger trains as there aren't many of them either.

For scenes like the one above in Dunedin, get the book New Zealand 1950s Steam in Colour compiled from the Derek Cross collection
