Rotorua Express: 1909
New Zealand in 1909. "The Rotorua Express leaving Auckland, alongside Customs Street East." Glass negative by A.P. Godber. View full size.

NZR class "A" 4-6-2
The train stepping smartly out of Auckland is powered by an NZ Railways "A" class Pacific (4-6-2) locomotive. These locomotives were built as four cylinder, balanced, de Glehn compound locomotives. Fifty eight were built, with the last not being withdrawn from service until 1969. Also, unlike most early century compound locomotives, they had long service lives as compounds, the first not converted to simple operation until 1941. Two examples have been preserved.
