The AK class carriage is a class of cars made by Dunedin’s Hillside Workshops for KiwiRail’s long-distance passenger service, The Great Journeys of New Zealand.
The roster of cars includes AK saloon carriages, AKC café carriages, AKL luggage vans, AKF kitchen carriages and AKV open-air viewing/generator vans converted from AG vans previously used on the Coastal Pacific and the TranzAlpine. These carriages are the first new ones built in New Zealand since 1943.
