Story

Die Goldfield Railway Waihi – Waikino Inc. ist eine täglich verkehrende Museums- und Touristikbahn auf der Nordinsel Neuseelands zwischen den Orten Waihi und Waikino.Die 6,5 Kilometer lange Strecke, dem einzigen verbliebenen Streckenabschnitt der ehemaligen East Coast Main Trunk Railway zwischen Paeroa und Tauranga, ist in der als Kapspur bekannten Standard-Spurweite der Eisenbahn in Neuseeland von 1067 mm ausgeführt.Geschichte der EisenbahnstreckeMit der umfangreichen Ausweitung der Martha Mine Anfang der 1900er Jahre in Waihi zu einer der größten Tagebauanlagen des Landes wuchs die Notwendigkeit eines Anschlusses an das im Aufbau befindliche Eisenbahnnetz. Am 5. November 1905 erfolgte der Anschluss an das Eisenbahnnetz der Nordinsel durch die Eröffnung der Eisenbahnstrecke zwischen Paeroa und Waihi durch die Karangahake Gorge mit dem 1.006 Meter langen Karangahake Tunnel. Für 23 Jahre war Waihi nun Endpunkt der Strecke. Zu dieser Zeit wurden zahlreiche Alternativen einer Erschließung der Bay of Plenty-Region mit der Eisenbahn geprüft, im Jahre 1909 wurde letztendlich der Plan gefasst, mit der East Coast Main Trunk Line die Verbindung von Auckland über Tauranga bis Whakatāne und eventuell sogar bis nach Gisborne zu realisieren. Der Erste Weltkrieg und die nachfolgende Depressionsphase sorgte jedoch für eine Verzögerung dieser Pläne, so dass erst 1928 mit der Fertigstellung der Frankton-Taneatua-Nebenbahn Waihi zum Durchgangsbahnhof wurde.

It was lovely to have vehicles toot their horns or wave Hi to the train passengers. Very lovely of them to do that : Only thing was when we got to Waihi, there's nothing much to see around the train station.

Overall, a pretty cool experience. My only suggestion and feedback would be to ask the train drivers to refrain from smoking. It's a small carriage, often with children on board, and a short journey that I'm sure 30min without a nicotine hit would be achievable.
Great experience. If you are in Waihi, Karangahake and Waikino areas please do try. I love it when the passing vehicles honk and the replies are waves and smiles.. toot toot!!
Kids loved it. Awesome
Tucked away down Wrigley St, the wee Waihi train station full of character and old time nostalgia. Take the kids for a ride to Waikino and back enjoy the country scenery. It is funny to watch all the adults on the train waving to the cars going past and all the cars honking back. There a little bit of kid still in all of us!
Very enjoyable..
What a great train trip, volunteers on board very friendly and happy to share information. We purchased a lunch pass with our ticket, best priced lunch we have seen for years and very nicely represented.
Awesome family experience, cafe's at the Waikino end is reasonable. Was around $22 return for an adult and 2 year old.
