I have an interest in New Zealand Railway history. On my original site these pages were a listing of all ther local railway groups, but these organisations have their own web sites (see the links section) which are far more appropriate than my own. I have combined these into one page with some reasonable photos, and will concentrate on my ghost railway pages.

I began an interest in Ghost Railways in the late 1990's. I didn't realise how many branch lines New Zealand used to have, so to find lines tucked away in all sorts of corners was intersting to me, especially to find some relics remaining and a few preserved.

These pages are an expression of my interest, a few recordings of some of the lines.
