Remarks & Notes 
Train 1615 from Masterton races through Heretaunga bound for Wellington. These Metlink Wairarapa Connection trains share tracks with electric units as far as Upper Hutt. Special fire suppression equipment is fitted to locomotives used for these trains on account of the Rimutaka tunnel 8.5Km/ 5.5 miles long which the trains pass through.

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.
