Quick Fact:
New Zealand’s railway lines opened up for public travel during the 1870s, connecting remote regions all over New Zealand. As a result the steam operated railway lines became increasingly popular, and railway travel was mostly steam operated up until the 1950s, with diesel and electric trains becoming more popular in the latter half of the 20th century.
