NZR EF class electric locomotive with the 'Overlander' runs through Hunterville in the 1990s

This wasn't a scheduled stop for this Wellington-Auckland train, replaced with the Northern Explorer in 2012.  For lots more, see our books.

From what I seen on facebook, appears several have been written off and broken up, not sure why when the rest are getting a facelift revamp. Even for a 30 year old fleet there is a lot of life left yet and if we are to believe present Govt policies of keeping it green, why then reduce the fleet size with no new orders for electric locos?
