Remarks & Notes 
Northern Explorer heads south from a crew stop at Westfield with plenty of activity in the adjacent yard and depot. The award winning train will take over 10 hours to reach the capital. The DF class loco was built in Canada and entered service in 1979. In 1990's the class was turbo upgraded and reclassified DFT. Most have been further rebuilt and equipped with Brightstar.

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.
