Raurimu Spiral history

Undoubtedly the Raurimu Spiral is one of the engineering feats of the construction of the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and NZR produced this leaflet to publicise it, primarily for passengers on the daylight Silverfern service, but also for the general public to understand the wonders of the railway. It remains a key feature along the line, as it enables trains to make a significant climb or descent from the volcanic plateau towards the King Country.
