Introducing KiwiRail...
KiwiRail is the owner of a business with a long and proud history of service to New Zealand. We need no introduction, but there is still much that New Zealanders don't know about us.
Most know that we are one of New Zealand's biggest freight movers. But it comes as a surprise to many that we are one of the country's biggest tourism operators and one of the most significant property owners and developers.
We are a new company with a strong history and we are bringing the difference elements of the rail industry back together; freight, passenger, ferry, network and mechanical.

Rail services back in action following Canterbury Earthquake
KiwiRail is expecting to have rail services in the Christchurch area restored by Tuesday 7 September following repairs to damage cause by Saturday's earthquake.
Rail lines have been opened and services reintroduced progressively since Saturday with the emphasis on getting vital rail links to the north and south re-established so essential goods could be moved into the region.
All services were stopped following the early Saturday earthquake which measured 7.1 on the Richter scale, while staff checked track and bridges for damage.
Rail movements began on Saturday evening with a special service dispatched from Christchurch to Temuka to collect and bring back drinking water for the region.
Speed restrictions remain in place on parts of the network because of the risk posed by the on-going aftershocks.
Extra ferry and rail services will be run over the coming days to bring freight into Christchurch.
