Beautification

Graffiti is a persistent challenge across rail networks worldwide, and removing it is often complex, costly, and short-lived. More importantly, people who enter the rail corridor to graffiti, put themselves at significant risk.

To help address this, KiwiRail has been transforming graffiti hotspots into vibrant public artworks, using murals and vinyl-wrapped signal boxes to beautify the network, deter trespass, and create opportunities to reinforce rail safety messages. 

Thank you to all the artists who have contributed their talent and shared a piece of their story through artworks across the national rail network. We hope local communities enjoy discovering and experiencing these pockets of art as they travel on or near the railway.
