DH locos 2839 and 2851 are sole survivors of Toll "corn cob" livery in service. Built in 1978 by General Electric USA, these locomotives are used for shunting and port transfer trains. Toll operated trains from 2003 to 2008 when the NZ Government bought back the rail business and vested it in KiwiRail.
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.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
