Rail freight – The big picture
News Zealand rail freight differs to Australia in that:
• Government (through KiwiRail) owns and controls the tracks, as well as
the majority of rollingstock
• Same gauge- avoiding many of Australia’s issues with differing gauges
between and within states
• Rail carries approximately 15 per cent of freight moved in New Zealand
(tonne-kilometres). In Australia it moves 46 per cent of bulk freight and
25 per cent of non-bulk freight
