- Glen_Massey_Branch abstract "The Glen Massey Branch was a private branch railway line of 10.6 km in the Waikato Region of New Zealand, built to serve coal mines, and from 1935 ran by the New Zealand Railways Department. The line had grades of 1 in 40, sharp curves and 22 bridges, including a 91.5 m long and 18.3 m high timber trestle bridge half way between Ngaruawahia and Glen Massey. In 1910 a private siding was built at Ngaruawahia on the North Island Main Trunk, and used from May 1912 to supply construction materials for the 8.2 km branch to Glen Massey. The branch was opened to Glen Massey in March 1914, and coal transport commenced, using a weigh-bridge at the Ngaruawahia private siding. The "Waipa Railway and Colleries Ltd". used two tank engines, and ran a regular Saturday passenger service known as the "Wilton Express" using some ex-WMR clerestory carriages. By 1930 the mine was worked out and the company went into liquidation. A new coal seam was found 3.5 km to the south. A new company "Wilton Colleries Ltd". was formed to operate this line. It took over the railway line in November 1930 and extended the line by about 2.2 km. The line was worked by two ex-NZR tank locomotives.In 1935 the State Mines Department took over the mines and line, which was worked by the NZR from 12 August 1935 using Ww and Bb locomotives. Mine output was 70,000 tons of coal annually, half for the NZR. Three return trips a day carried 400 tons daily. Later, track deterioration resulted in speed limits ranging from 16 km/hr to 10 km/hr. The line was closed on 19 May 1958.".
