Picton Express
The ''Picton Express'' was a passenger express train operated by the New Zealand Railways Department between Christchurch and Picton. It ran from December 1945 until February 1956, and was thus the shortest-lived provincial express in New Zealand.〔J. D. Mahoney, ''Kings of the Iron Road'' (Palmerston North: Dunmore Press, 1982), 105.〕
== Introduction ==
The Main North Line took over half a century to build, and passengers using the northern portion in Marlborough were primarily catered for with mixed trains, while the southern section was the route of the ''Culverden Express''.〔Geoffrey B. Churchman and Tony Hurst, ''The Railways of New Zealand: A Journey Through History'' (Auckland: HarperCollins, 1991), 177.〕 As of the mid-1920s, the ''Culverden Express'' began to terminate at the coastal Parnassus terminus rather than the inland Culverden terminus, and this was the forerunner to the ''Picton Express''. The route north of Parnassus was completed as the Main North Line on 15 December 1945, and from this date, the ''Picton Express'' was introduced, operating the length of the line.〔
