The North Island of New Zealand - Mountain Railways

Post by rogerfarnworth »

Will Lawson wrote about the mountain railways of New Zealand in the August 1909 issue of The Railway Magazine. The two principal lines on the South Island were under construction at the time of his article. Those on the North Island were already in use. We look first at The Rimutaka Incline and then at The Raurimu Spiral.
