Main Trunk: Portrait of a Railway
order quantity
NZ$ 45.00 each
Hardback
Author:
OnTrack
One hundred years since it was opened, the North Island Main Trunk linking Wellington and Auckland remains the country's most important railway and a symbol of what railways have stood for in New Zealand's history. From the early aspirations of colonial politicians to its long and at times troubled construction; from its boom years to the later decline of passenger services; from competition with road to electrification, the North Island Main Trunk has charted the ebb and flow of New Zealand's railway history. This book brings together many photographs and images, including colour, to tell the story of this line and its role in the development of New Zealand. 152 pages.
Review by Geoffrey Churchman: Quite a few books have been published about the North Island Main Trunk railway over the years—most notably the comprehensive tome from 1981 by the late Bill Pierre—which is understandable given that it is the country’s most important ...

New Zealand 1950s Steam in Colour (Compiled from the Derek Cross Collection)
order quantity
NZ$ 70.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Transpress & David Cross (intro.)
A veritable 'tour de force' of authentic steam railway action in colour. The late Derek Cross was a British geologist and keen steam railway enthusiast who visited New Zealand in the 1950s. Many of his black and white photos from his travels around New Zealand have been published in books and magazines, but only a small number of his colour slides have been seen before. This book contains 380 out of the approx 900 slides he took, organised geographically from north to south, and nearly all of them are hitherto unseen. All are reproduced with generous proportions on gloss art paper. A feast for steam enthusiasts and anyone nostalgic about life in the 1950s in New Zealand.
200 pages in A4 format, includes 2 colour maps and colour endpapers.
First published January 2008.

South Island Main Trunk
order quantity
NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Geoffrey B. Churchman
Now representing a quarter of the present-day KiwiRail network, the South Island Main Trunk stretches 1000 km from Picton in the Marlborough Sounds to Bluff at the bottom of the South Island, along the way passing through an impressive variety of terrains: mountains, coastline (for some 100 km both at the same time) hill country, plains, and of course, cities.
This book relates the history of the two sections of the railway, which were completed nearly seven decades apart, as well as features of engineering and scenic interest, the nature of rail operations, locomotives and trains through the decades.
Maps and an impressive collection of photos, many in full colour, accompany the fascinating text. 128 pages in 286 x 210 mm format.

Accordingly they decided to produce a strictly limited second printing of this comprehensive history of primitive forest railways in New Zealand as used by sawmillers to transport felled logs from the cutting sites to the sawmills and finished timber from the sawmills to wharfs and railheads. Lots of details on the equipment and technology used and operating methods, with comprehensive text and wonderful photos.

The GDay Country Redux An illustrated rail journey back into New Zealand
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
David McGill
DoP September 2009, NZ
Softcover
In February 1985 David McGill set off to travel New Zealand rail in guards' vans, with guards as companionable dispensers of local knowledge.
A generation later, McGill introduces the leisurely journey by comparing the then Silver Fern trip from Wellington to Auckland with the present-day Overlander. On the latter he enjoys the company of former Railways worker and poet Michael O'Leary.
The original 1985 edition of this book was launched at Wellington Railway Station by Richard Prebble, but has now been extensively revised and lavishly illustrated with over 100 photographs. An original Michael O'Leary railway poem introduces each chapter, and his appendix revives dozens of forgotten Maori railway station names in waiata for obsolete rail journeys.
