NZR A class (1873) The original A class was the second class of steam locomotive (after 1872's F class) ordered to work on New Zealand's national railways. It should not be confused with the more famous A class 4-6-2 tender locomotives of 1906.
NZR Aa class The AA class consisted of ten steam locomotives built to operate on New Zealand's national rail network. Built to a similar design to the A class of 1906, they had a wheel arrangement of 4-6-2 and were suited to hauling freight services.
NZR Ab class The NZR AB class was a steam locomotive built to operate on New Zealand's national railway system. The first members of the class were constructed in 1915 as a development of the A class, and a total of 141 were built.
NZR ADL class (Diesel Multiple Unit) The ADL class consists of ten diesel multiple units (DMUs) built by Goninan for the Transperth division of Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) in the early 1980s. They were purchased by New Zealand Rail Limited in 1993 to replace suburban carriage trains used in Auckland.
NZR B class (1874) The NZR B class of 1874 was the first of two steam locomotive classes to be designated as B by the Railways Department that then oversaw New Zealand's national rail network (the second B class was introduced in 1899). Ordered from the Avonside Engine Co.
NZR B class (1899) The B class of 1899 was a class of steam locomotives that operated on New Zealand's national rail network. An earlier B class of Double Fairlies had entered service in 1874, but as they had departed from the ownership of the New Zealand Railways (NZR) by the end of 1896, the B classification was free to be re-used.
NZR Ba class The BA class was a class of steam locomotive built by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) for use on New Zealand's national rail network. The first BA entered service in November 1911, with the last of the 11 class members introduced on 14 May 1913.
NZR Bb class The BB class of steam locomotives comprised 30 engines that operated on New Zealand's national rail network. Similar in design and appearance to the preceding B and BA classes, the first BB class locomotive entered service in February 1915, with the last to commence operations doing so on 8 March 1917.
NZR C class (1873) The C class comprised of a number of tank locomotives built to operate on New Zealand's national rail network during its infancy. It is sometimes referred to as the little C class or the original C class to distinguish it from the C class of 1930.
NZR C class (1930) The C class consisted of twenty-four steam locomotives built to perform shunting duties on New Zealand's national rail network. It is sometimes known as the big C class to differentiate it from the C class of 1873.
NZR D class (1874) The NZR D class was a class of tank steam locomotives that operated on New Zealand's national railway network. The first members of the class entered service in 1874, and all had left the service of NZR by the end of 1927, which allowed the D classification to be used again in 1929.
NZR DA class The NZR DA class was the most numerous class of locomotive to run on New Zealand's national railway network. 146 locomotives were built between 1955 and 1967, five more than the previous largest class, the AB class steam locomotives of 1915.
NZR DB class The NZR DB class was a group of diesel-electric locomotive built in 1965-1966 to operate on New Zealand's national railway network. They were designed as a lighter version of the DA class to operate on secondary North Island lines from which the DA was excluded due to its weight.
NZR DF class (1979) The NZR General Motors DF class, now upgraded to the DFT class, consists of thirty locomotives built by General Motors of Canada between 1979 and 1981. The class should not be confused with the English Electric DF class of 1954; as all of the old DFs had been retired by mid-1975, the 'DF' classification was free to be re-used.
NZR DG class The NZR DG and DH class locomotives were a class of diesel-electric locomotives in New Zealand. The class was introduced as an alternative to the DF class, being a 'half' version of the DF with only one cab instead of two.
NZR DH class The DH class is a type of diesel-electric shunting locomotives used in New Zealand The class consists of six heavy shunt U10B type locomotives built by General Electric of the USA in 1978. The class are almost all used in the Auckland area for heavy shunting duties, including services to the Port of Auckland.

NZR DM class (Electric Multiple Unit) The NZR DM class is a type of electric multiple unit used in the Wellington region of New Zealand by Tranz Metro. Built by English Electric, they were introduced in July 1938 following the opening of the Tawa Deviation of the North Island Main Trunk, which turned the previous mainline into the Johnsonville Line.
NZR DQ class DQ / QR class locomotives are two classes of mainline diesel-electric locomotives in New Zealand and Tasmania, Australia. Originally Queensland Railways 1460 and 1502 class, they were purchased by Tranz Rail in 1995 to be rebuilt, as a cheaper alternative to buying new locomotives.
NZR DSC class The NZR DSC class is a class of heavy shunting locomotive used throughout New Zealand. The class was built in 7 batches, the first 18 locomotives being built by British Thomson Houston of the United Kingdom, with the remainder being built by New Zealand Railways.
NZR DSJ class The DSJ class is a type of diesel-electric shunting locomotive used in New Zealand. The class has a very similar overall design to the DSG class, but is instead single-engined, has a cab that is offset from the centre, and is both shorter and lighter than its twin-engined counterpart.
NZR DX class The General Electric DX class, consists of forty-nine locomotives built by General Electric of the United States between 1972 and 1975 for the then New Zealand Railways Department. The class is based on the General Electric U26C class, a scaled-down version of the GE U25C class for narrow-gauge railways.
NZR E class (1872) The NZR E class of Double Fairlie locomotives that operated in New Zealand was the first class to take that designation, followed by the E class Mallet compounds of 1906 and then the E class battery electric locomotive of 1922. The class was built in two separate batches and thus can be divided into two distinct groups: the first two, built by the Vulcan Foundry, and the later six, built by the Avonside Engine Company.
NZR E class (1906) The E class Mallet locomotive that operated in New Zealand was the second locomotive to take that designation, after the E class Double Fairlies of 1872-75. As all members of the first E class had been either withdrawn or passed out of the ownership of the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) by 1906, the E classification was free to be re-used.
NZR E class (1922) The NZR E class battery electric locomotive represented the third unique type of locomotive to be given the E classification in New Zealand. The first was the E class of nine Double Fairlie steam locomotives of 1872-75; the second E class consisted of a Mallet compound made in 1906; and as both were no longer operated by the New Zealand Railways Department in 1923, the classification was free to be used for a third time when the small battery electric locomotive was delivered.
NZR EB class The EB class was a class of five battery electric (later diesel-electric) locomotives built to perform shunting duties at the workshops of New Zealand's national rail network. The first was built in 1925 and began its working life in Frankton, though four years later, it was transferred to Christchurch's Addington Workshops.
NZR EF class The NZR EF Class (previously classified Class 30) are the only mainline electric locomotives in service on New Zealand's national rail network. They operate on the 25 kV AC overhead electrified section of the North Island Main Trunk Railway between Palmerston North and Te Rapa (near Hamilton).
NZR EM class (Electric Multiple Unit) The NZR EM class is a type of electric multiple unit used in the Wellington region of New Zealand by Tranz Metro. They are in service in most parts of the Wellington suburban area except the Johnsonville Branch where they do not have running rights, although a modified member of this class was able to run on this Branch in the early 1990s.
NZR F class The F class was the first important class of steam locomotive built to operate on New Zealand's railway network after the national gauge of 1067 millimetres (3 feet 6 inches) was adopted. The first locomotives built for the new 1067 mm railways were two E class double Fairlies for the Dunedin and Port Chalmers Railway.
NZR G class (1928) The NZR G class was a type of Garratt steam locomotive used in New Zealand, the only such Garratt type steam locomotives ever used by New Zealand Government Railways. They were ordered to deal with traffic growth over the heavy gradients of the North Island Main Trunk and to do away with the use of banking engines on steep grades.
NZR H class The NZR H class locomotive was a unique class of locomotive used by the New Zealand Railways Department on the famous Rimutaka Incline, the three-mile section of 1 in 15 gradient between Cross Creek and Summit, over the Rimutaka Ranges. The locomotives worked on the Fell mountain railway system and had four horizontal driving wheels between the frames, gripping a centre rail and providing the extra adhesion needed for the climb.
NZR J class (1874) The J class were steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement of 2-6-0 that were built in 1874 to operate on the railway network of New Zealand. They should not be confused with the more famous J class of 1939.

NZR Ja class The NZR JA class were a type of 4-8-2 steam locomotive used on the New Zealand railway network. The class were essentially an improved version of the J class, but unlike the earlier class the Ja's were built without streamlining.
NZR K class (1877) The NZR Rogers K class were some of the first steam locomotives of American design to be used on New Zealand's railways. The class had a wheel arrangement of 2-4-2 and comprised a total of eight members built by the Rogers Locomotive Works of New Jersey, of which two were built in 1877 and a subsequent six followed in 1878.
NZR K class (1932) The NZR K class of 1932 was a class of steam locomotive that operated on New Zealand's railway network with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4. They were built in response to the need for a locomotive that could haul more tonnage than an AB class locomotive could, and due to New Zealand's narrow gauge and clearances, the power had to be very carefully and cleverly compressed into an area smaller than would usually be used for a locomotive of such power.
NZR Ka class The NZR KA class of 1939 was a class of steam locomotive that operated on New Zealand's railway network with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4. They were built after the success of the K class to meet the increasing demands of New Zealand Government Railways.
NZR Kb class The NZR KB class of 1939 was a class of steam locomotive that operated on New Zealand's railway network with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4. They were built for service in the South Island after the success of the K class to meet the increasing traffic demands of New Zealand Government Railways, and were almost totally similar to the North Island KA class locomotives, except for a special two-cylinder auxiliary "booster" in the rear bogie.
NZR La class The NZR LA class was a class of steam locomotives used by the New Zealand Railways Department and the New Zealand Midland Railway Company. They were built by Nasmyth Wilson in 1887 for New Zealand Midland Railway Company, and were taken over by NZR in 1900, when the government acquired the incomplete Midland line.

NZR Na class The NA class was a class of two steam locomotives that operated on the privately owned Wellington and Manawatu Railway (WMR) and then the publicly owned national rail network in New Zealand. Ordered by the WMR to operate on its line up the west coast of the North Island north of Wellington, the first was built in 1894 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and entered service that year as WMR No.
NZR Nc class The NZR NC class was a class of two steam locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive Works built for service on New Zealand's private Wellington and Manawatu Railway (WMR). They did not acquire their NC classification until the publicly owned New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) purchased the WMR and its locomotive fleet.
NZR O class The O class consisted of six steam locomotives that operated on New Zealand's national rail network. Ordered from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Pennsylvania in 1885, three arrived in time to begin work in December 1885, while two more were placed in service in January 1886 and the sixth in February 1886.

NZR Oc class The OC class, built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Wellington and Manawatu Railway (WMR) in New Zealand, consists of a solitary steam locomotive. Ordered in 1896 as an externally similar but more powerful version of the OA class locomotive ordered in 1894, it entered service in June 1897 as No.
NZR P class (1876) The P class was a class of two tank locomotives built to work on the government-owned national rail network of New Zealand in 1876. Their wheel arrangement was 0-6-0T under the Whyte notation system and they were initially ordered by the Otago Provincial Council, but they were soon incorporated into the national locomotive fleet when the provinces were abolished.
NZR P class (1885) The P class was a class of steam locomotives built to haul freight trains on the national rail network of New Zealand. The class consisted of ten individual locomotives ordered from the British company of Nasmyth, Wilson, & Co.

NZR RM class (Leyland diesel) The NZR RM class Leyland diesel railbus was the first diesel-powered vehicle to enter revenue service on New Zealand's national rail network. Two railbuses were built, RM 20 and RM 21, and they commenced service in August 1936 as temporary short-use vehicles that would operate until better, larger rolling stock became available.
NZR RM class (MacEwan-Pratt) The NZR RM class MacEwan-Pratt petrol railcar was the first railcar to run on New Zealand's national rail network, though it was never used in revenue service. It was built in 1912 at a time when the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) was seeking alternative methods of providing rural passenger transportation.
NZR RM class (Model T Ford) The NZR RM class Model T Ford railcar was a type of railcar that operated on New Zealand's national rail network.
