DL 9037 was built by CNR Dalian, China in 2010. Assisting is DC 4041 (EMD G22AR formerly G12.) The manifest train bound for Palmerston North is departing the rail yards of New Zealand's capital.
Trains on 3' 6" (1.067m) track from Whangarei to Bluff with virtually heritage rebuilt EMD and GE locomotives still the mainstay power. The network was privatized in 1990's and operated by Toll until 2008 when state owned KiwiRail was established.
The worst of railroad design. Please, send me your entries / suggestions for the "Album of the ugly trains of the world" (past or present, paint scheme or shape).
