Thank you for video footage, it actually becomes a historical record. Clip 0.50-1.40 looks to be adjacent the Ngatai Road pedestrian underpass, built 1998 so students using the salt marsh path-a shortcut- safely negotiated the rail track. Working at Tauranga City Council then, this was my last design, contract, tender,construction project completed within $120,000 budget. Nowadays with lost expertise and price gouging consultants and contractors it would cost millions. Good to see Kiwi rail have new rolling stock-hopefully this will negate 500 trucks returning empty containers to Auckland each week (in 2024)because of deficiency of rail wagons. Interestingly, Tauranga had a successful inter regional passenger rail service till about 1999, cancelled in 2001, but that is another story.
