| Remarks & Notes |
| Ab 608 was built by NZR Addington (Christchurch) in 1915 and named "Passchendaele" in 1925 as a War Memorial for over 400 railwaymen who perished in WW1. It is now owned by NZ Railway & Locomotive Society who restored it for the centenary. The train is an ANZAC special Palmerston North to Ohakune and is seen on the 2% climb to NZ's highest station, Waiouru. |
