Summary
| Description |
The images above are from a rail, road and ferry timetables brochure that took effect from 14 July 1976. Published by the New Zealand Government Railways Department, the brochure included North and South Island main rail and bus transport lines, and the Wellington/ Picton ferry service. New Zealand’s first railway lines were laid down in the 1860s in the South Island, transporting freight from the hinterlands to market and ports. Railways also enabled Pākehā settlement by providing improved access to land. In the 1870s, trunklines were controlled separately, first provincially and then by island. The Railways Department establishment in 1880, consolidated management of the North Island and Middle (South) Island rail lines under one authority, responsible to the Minister of Public Works. The New Zealand Government Railways Department operated for 101 years until 1981, becoming the New Zealand Railways Corporation in 1982.
