Culverden Express
The ''Culverden Express'' was a passenger train operated by the New Zealand Railways Department between Christchurch and Culverden. It ran from 1886 until its replacement by the ''Picton Express'' in 1945 and its route followed both the Main North Line and the Waiau Branch. In the mid-1920s, the main northern terminus became Parnassus, and to reflect this, the name was changed to the ''Parnassus Express''.
== Introduction ==
On 8 February 1886, the railway line from Christchurch to Culverden was opened. Initially envisaged as part of the main route north to Marlborough, an express passenger train began operating between the two towns. It was the most important passenger train in the northern Canterbury region and it received modern rolling stock and steam locomotives, such as the UB class of 1899.〔J. D. Mahoney, ''Kings of the Iron Road'' (Palmerston North: Dunmore Press, 1982), 110.〕 In 1919, when the railway was extended beyond Culverden to Waiau, the ''Expresss operation was extended too: it ran twice daily between Christchurch and Culverden, continuing thrice weekly through to Waiau.〔David Leitch and Brian Scott, ''Exploring New Zealand's Ghost Railways'', revised edition (Wellington: Grantham House, 1998 ()), 62.〕
