More of the best rail journeys in New Zealand. The Kinston flyer is built for speed, with a fascinating history of what brought this railway to this inland point and why it's locked in time. See two locomotives that are the only of their kind still in operation. And board the steam ship TSS Earnslaw to learn more about the rail's integral role in the rugged area around Queenstown.
