Tranz Rail was a New Zealand-based rail transport company that operated freight and passenger services. Established in 1993, it played a significant role in the country's transportation network, focusing on moving goods across the North and South Islands. The company was known for its extensive rail infrastructure and services, which included both long-distance and regional routes. In 2004, Tranz Rail underwent a major transformation when it was restructured and renamed KiwiRail. This change aimed to improve efficiency and modernize the rail system in New Zealand. Today, KiwiRail continues to provide essential rail services, contributing to the country's economy and sustainability efforts.
