Remarks & Notes 
MetroPort train from Tauranga approaches Papakura hauled by a DXC brought up from South Island after the sidelining of the CNR built DL class fleet. The DXC has modifications for working through the formerly electrified Otira tunnel 5.5 miles (8.5Km) long on 3% grade against loaded trains.

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.
