RailCruising - Self Drive Rail Cars

RailCruising is the new tourist activity that allows people just like you the ability to travel along railway lines in your own powered self-drive, 4-seat railway vehicle called the RailCruiser. Groups of RailCruisers spaced apart, travel 10km together in one direction from Mamaku Railway Station to Tarukenga Railway Station. At Tarukenga the Rail Cruisers are then turned and head back to Mamaku. Cruising along at 20km/hr, you can listen to the audio tour and discover a unique piece of New Zealand railway history. This is the ultimate way to experience a railway. The RailCruiser V3000 is the world’s first fully automated, state of the art petrol-electric four seat self-drive hybrid rail vehicle. The RailCruiser has comfortable seats with unobstructed views, is fitted with clear drop down waterproof sides and comes with onboard heating.
