Keen trainspotters and other locomotive enthusiasts will have something to get excited about when KiwiRail's new wagons are put to use.
At present, around 100 of the new wagons are stacked at the Port of Tauranga.
A SunLive reader was filling up his gas bottles when he spotted the gleaming stack, and emailed a photo in.
KiwiRail communities liaison manager Gill Evans says the new wagons are a container flat-top design.
'They will be used to carry domestic and shipping containers throughout the network. They are part of KiwiRail's wagon replacement upgrade program and will be commissioned and enter into service as soon as the relevant authority releases them for use.”

We're these shipped in from Dunedin Railway workshops or China? The former I folornly wish.

No chance of them being made in NZ. The bean counters have the last say these days and bugger the Kiwi workforce. And it won't matter who is in government.
