About Off the Rails: A Love Story
One man in New Zealand is still passionate enough about its rails and the country they roll through, to put words into action. Train buff Marcus Lush heads "Off the Rails", from Bluff in the South to Opua in the North, on a remarkable array of railways - coal, freight, steam, railcars, even a jigger or two! A fascinating and entertaining journey full of quirky locals and spectacular scenery.
