}}
Metlink's Kapiti Line〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metlink, January 2011 )〕 is the electrified southern portion of the North Island Main Trunk Railway between New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, and Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast, operated by Tranz Metro on behalf of Greater Wellington Regional Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metlink - Kapiti Line )〕 Trains run frequently every day, with stops at 16 stations. Until 2011 it was known as the Paraparaumu Line.
== Construction ==
The Kapiti Line was constructed by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company as part of its line between Wellington and Longburn, south of Palmerston North. It was built by a group of Wellington businessmen frustrated with the indecision of the government about the construction of a west coast route out of Wellington.〔Geoffrey B. Churchman and Tony Hurst, ''The Railways of New Zealand: A Journey Through History'' (Auckland: HarperCollins, 1991), 164.〕 Construction of the line began in September 1882 and followed a circuitous, steep route via Johnsonville. It was opened to Plimmerton in October 1885, and on 3 November 1886 the line was finished, with the final spike driven just north of Paraparaumu, at Otaihanga.〔Churchman and Hurst, ''The Railways of New Zealand'', 165.〕
On 7 December 1908 the government acquired the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company, and incorporated it into its national network as the southern portion of the North Island Main Trunk line.
