New Zealand Railways Steam Locomotives (TrainWeb.org/nzsteam) This site portrays the locomotives that were used on the New Zealand Railways network. The
period covered is from 1870 until 28 October 1971 when the last steam locomotive dropped its fire
and was withdrawn from service.
New Zealand Logging Locomotives (TrainWeb.org/loggingz) This site deals with the locomotives, other than New Zealand designed geared locos (refer
