ABOUT
New Zealand rail history with an emphasis is on the 1950's and early 1960's when steam haulage reached its peak, just as the diesel invasion took place.
The railway between Auckland and Wellington is New Zealand's biggest main line. It passes through rugged country, with steep grades, frequent curves, and tall viaducts. Steam locomotives were the biggest in service and worked the hardest. The pages that follow depict the steam power which hauled all the traffic on the Main Trunk for nearly half a century.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
