Remarks & Notes 
With 6 DXC class locomotives on the front, loaded coal train 850 gets away from Otira. The extra 4 locomotives on the head are there to assist in getting the train through the steep Otira tunnel. At Arthurs Pass the 4 locomotives will be taken off and just 2 DXC locomotives will complete the rest of the trip to Christchurch.

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.
