Remarks & Notes 
Train 134 conveys billet steel from New Zealand Steel Mission Bush mill to the steel reinforcing plant at Otahuhu. The DL class was built to KiwiRail specifications by CNR Dalian in China from 2010 and is the most powerful diesel electric locomotive on the roster at 3500Hp. They are generally well liked by drivers but not so much by rail fans.

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.
