Remarks & Notes 
A restored English Electric car set from early 1950's approaches Tunnel 5 on the Johnsonville Branch. This line has a 2.5% gradient and is part of the original route from Wellington to Auckland. When the Tawa Deviation opened in 1937, this line ended at Johnsonville and was electrified.

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.
