Fascinating look at the abandoned branch lines and the fading stations and tunnels that dot New Zealand. The authors have recorded the lines systematically, with ghost branches listed by location: in North Auckland, the Bay of Plenty and the East Coast, the North Island (West Coast and Central), Wellington and Wairarapa, Nelson and the West Coast on the South Island, Canterbury, Otago, and Southland. Includes a discussion of where each line is, how to get there (and even if it's worth visiting), why it was built, and information about its construction, decline, and abandonment. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With maps. Perfect for the armchair traveler or the world traveller.
