Night Limited : ウィキペディア英語版 | Night Limited
The ''Night Limited'' was an express passenger train that operated in New Zealand between Wellington and Auckland, utilising the entire length of the North Island Main Trunk. It commenced service in 1924 and was replaced by the Silver Star in 1971 and supplemented by the ''Northerner'' express in 1975. == Introduction ==
When the North Island Main Trunk Railway was completed in 1908, services between Auckland and Wellington were slow and tedious, taking two days to complete the journey. The first expresses ran in February 1909 and took approximately 18 hours from end to end. The ''Night Limited'' was introduced in 1924 to provide a quicker service. Its name stemmed from the fact it ran overnight and had limited stops. AB class steam locomotives were employed to haul the service, and this factor combined with the reduced stops allowed the reduction in travel time to just over 14 hours.
