The TranzCoastal from Christchurch to Picton is reaching its final destination. The locomotive is still in the Toll Rail colors and lettering. The first car is a baggage van, the second a combined generator/open observation car.
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.
