Passengers on KiwiRail’s Great Journeys of New Zealand tourism services can once again be able to enjoy the open-air viewing carriages.

Following an increased number of potential safety incidents, Great Journeys of New Zealand has temporarily closed the outdoor viewing carriages on its trains.

The service resumes two years after the service was put on hold because of the devastating Kaikoura earthquake.

Refurbishing KiwiRail’s aging electric locomotives on the North Island Main Trunk line will provide additional capacity as rail continues its freight growth.

A new freight hub near Palmerston North in New Zealand will prepare the Manawatu-Whanganui region for the coming freight growth.
