The first steam-operated railway in New Zealand, from Christchurch to Ferrymead, opened on 1 December 1863 with a gauge of 1600 mm. It was later converted to 1067 mm gauge, which is now standard in New Zealand. (The Guinness Railway Fact Book)

Keirunga Park Railway

The Keirunga Park Railway is an 846 metre track operated by the Havelock North Live Steamers Club. The track winds its way around Keirunga Park in Havelock North, in the sunny Hawke's Bay of New Zealand, through tunnels, over viaducts and around scenic rock faces.

The track is open on the first and third Sundays of the month, from 11 am to 4 pm, and all weekend at Easter and Labour Weekend.

Come along for a great day out with the family, bring a picnic, and have a ride on our steam, diesel and electric locomotives. Rides are just $1 or a 12-trip ticket is $10.
