Rail transport in New Zealand consists of a network of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge (Cape gauge) railway lines in both the North and South Islands. Rail services are focused primarily on freight, particularly bulk freight, with limited passenger services on some lines. Only Auckland and Wellington have urban rail systems, both of which are being upgraded and expanded.
