Remarks & Notes

Auckland Transport train from Britomart terminal climbs towards Parnell Tunnel and Newmarket where the Southern and Western Lines diverge. The tower in background is part of Sky Casino and is the tallest building in New Zealand. This line is part of the first railway in Auckland opened in 1873 to Onehunga. The line to Onehunga was closed to passengers from Penrose about 1973 but was rebuilt and re-opened in 2010 (since electrified.)
