NZR's one time 'Taneatua Express' behind a J class 4-8-2 passing Waikino, 1958

The train ended with the introduction of the Fiat railcars the next year. For hundreds more photos like this, see the book New Zealand 1950s Steam in Colour: compiled from the Derek Cross collection.

Some of the old line in this area is preserved as the Goldfields Railway.
