Lyttelton Line is a name sometimes used to refer to the section of the Main South Line in New Zealand's South Island between Lyttelton and Christchurch, and can also be used to refer to the operations on this section. As it has always been part of the Main South Line (originally the Canterbury Great Southern Railway), this name has never been officially used to refer to the track itself.
The line between Lyttelton and Christchurch is notable for several reasons, including: incorporating part of the first public railway in New Zealand, between Ferrymead and Christchurch; including in its route the still operational first railway tunnel in New Zealand; and, having been the site of the first electrified suburban service in New Zealand.
Thanks to the Kiwirail driver who filmed this on a coal train doing the "coaldumps".
Awesome video. I recall years ago when the public were able to walk through the tunnel.
Great Video Geoff, I vaguely remember this trip when i was a kid which would be 50+ years ago, the one thing that hasn't changed is the tunnel, thanks for sharing
fascinating seeing where the coal wagons discharge. Many thanks.
It’s amazing, judging by the rails still in level crossings, just how many sidings have been removed. Even Lyttelton yard is a far cry from its hey day.
Great vid. Geoff, much enjoyed. Cheers from Oz.
Fantastic video.l was trying to find some familiar places like old Linwood Locomotive Depot. That’s where I joined NZR in February 1975.
Awesome, also enjoyed, from Auckland

how long is the tunnel? great clip, thanks!
Is there any grade on the lyttleton tunnel?
Thanks for the video, I work at the container terminal in Lyttelton and often wonder what the rail trip is like to get there, especially through the tunnel . Cheers
