🚂 All Aboard the RM31 ‘Tokomaru’: A Vintage Journey to the Central Plateau!

Step back in time and experience the golden age of New Zealand rail travel! On Sunday, 10 May 2026, the Pahiatua Railcar Society invites you to join a spectacular return day trip from Pahiatua to the alpine town of Ohakune aboard the beautifully preserved vintage Standard Railcar, RM31 'Tokomaru'.

Whether you are a railway enthusiast, a lover of New Zealand history, or simply looking for a unique and memorable day out with family and friends, this journey offers a front-row seat to the stunning landscapes of the North Island.

🚂 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥
Travelling in a vintage Standard Railcar is a completely different experience from a modern train ride. Here is what makes the RM31 so special:
•	The Nostalgic Soundtrack: Feel the rhythmic clatter of the tracks and listen to the distinctive hum of the twin diesel engines—a sound that defined provincial travel in mid-20th century New Zealand.
•	Intimate Charm: With limited seating, the RM31 offers a cozy, community atmosphere. It's a fantastic way to mingle with fellow passengers and the passionate volunteers who keep this incredible machine running.

🗺️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞
Departing from the Wairarapa line, our journey will make its way through the Manawatū Gorge before joining the iconic North Island Main Trunk line. You'll climb steadily into the rugged high country of the Central Plateau, crossing spectacular, dizzying viaducts over the Rangitīkei River before arriving at the foot of Mount Ruapehu in Ohakune.

Arriving at Ohakune you can visit one of the local restaurants for a leisurely lunch or grab a coffee from Opus Fresh based in the station (all at your own cost) or you can also book on our Raurimu Rambler trip (shown below) for an extended railcar experience.

You can also visit the Ohakune Railway Museum and immerse yourself in local railway history.
