Tired and faded looking 7064 leads 7199 on 624 Palmerston North - Napier through the restored station of Ormondville. Both locomotives have since been withdrawn though 7199 may soon be rebuilt at Hutt workshops.
Trains on 3' 6" (1.067m) track from Whangarei to Bluff with virtually heritage rebuilt EMD and GE locomotives still the mainstay power. The network was privatized in 1990's and operated by Toll until 2008 when state owned KiwiRail was established.
