Remarks & Notes 
At the time of this photo I had no idea that in just two short weeks the line would be devastated by a massive earthquake that would force its closure for up to 2 years while repairs are undertaken. The earthquake epicenter was nearby this location as no evidence was observed on October 22, 2016, when KiwiRail train 736-22 was seen heading northbound under the Highway 1 tunnel near Ferniehurst with DXC class rebuilt GE U26Cs 5241 and 5500 leading the train from Christchurch to Picton, NZ.

For those times when you would rather take the direct route, even if it does get dark.

Trains on 3' 6" (1.067m) track from Whangarei to Bluff with virtually heritage rebuilt EMD and GE locomotives still the mainstay power. The network was privatized in 1990's and operated by Toll until 2008 when state owned KiwiRail was established.
