All NZR locomotives

INTRODUCTION

All locomotives had Road Numbers, independent from the Classification letters. The original numbering system has each section of the railway control its own numbers, with pre-allocated blocks of numbers for each section. In the North Island this worked for a while but they soon sturck the problem of sections running out of numbers, and transfer of locomotives between sections. In the South Island things went a bit different, mainly because the two main sections grew large very quickly, and were then joined up to extend over about two thirds of the Island. In 1882 to over come numbering problems due to the aforementioned causes, a new system was introduced for which the instructions given, caused immediate problems. In the North Island new blocks of numbers were allocated and loco's renumbered accordingly,. In the South Island the Hurunui - Bluff Railway
