Northerner (train) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Northerner (train)
The ''Northerner'' was an overnight passenger train between Wellington and Auckland in New Zealand. Originally numbered 227 southbound and 626 northbound, it replaced the unnamed and less revered ordinary express trains supplementing the luxurious ''Silver Star'' (later the ''Eastern & Oriental Express''), which had replaced the ''Night Limited'' in 1971. The ''Northerner'' operated from Monday, 3 November 1975 to Friday, 12 November 2004. Overnight services between Auckland and Wellington began in 1908 when the line between the two cities was completed. The inaugural trip〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The inaugural trip )〕 took Prime Minister Sir Joseph Ward and other Members of Parliament to Auckland to greet the American Pacific Fleet. == Motive Power ==
Prior to 3 November 1975, the pre-Northerner's were hauled by DA class diesel-electric locomotives. With the introduction of the ''Northerner'' branding, DX class locomotives were assigned to the train's haulage. From the 1990s onwards, DF class locomotives were used infrequently, and, on a more permanent basis DC class locomotives were used.
