The Railway Knowledge Base for New Zealand

WELCOME to the Railway Knowledge Base for New Zealand

From this page you have links to the home-pages of most topics that expect to be accommodated by this wiki. The South Island Lines and Stations has been the initial focus gives you access to individual pages for all South Island Railway Lines, Stations and track sections between stations. If you are new to this site you are not alone, this site is quite new too. Over the coming months we hope to be able to bed things down to a point where page layouts are more defined, data is progressively being added and generally people are enthused about using it. At this stage it is not tailored for small screens so you may not get the best experience there.

The graphic below shows what could be possible to include in this wiki, and there will no doubt be categories I have not thought of yet. The balloons are colour coded to indicate their level of completeness with regard to basic functionality and data. Green represents topics able to accept data, with quite some usable data loaded, Orange represents topics that have had an initial structure defined but do not have much data yet. Yellow represents those topics that have had some preliminary work done, but not ready for data yet, and the white balloons have had virtually do development work done. My next ain is to home-page created for each of these topics where development updates can also be recorded

Below the graphic are a few additional links , mainly used for development work.

This is a wiki, so will rely on all rail enthusiasts to make it what you want it to be. This has to quickly become OUR wiki not mine, otherwise it will not survive. So if you want to get involved in helping develop this to what it could become, please contact me at robert@raileng.nz. Enjoy your visit.
