Remarks & Notes 
Train 243 from Westfield to Wellington approaches Opaheke Road between Papakura and Drury, just beyond the section of the North Island Main Traink electrified for Southern Line Auckland Transport trains. This was one of the first lash ups of older locomotives after 40 CNR built DL class locos were sidelined after discovery they contained asbestos. Many EMD and GE locos returned from South Island to keep trains running and fans delighted. Buyer beware with Chinese locos!

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.
