Branch Lines
Three branch lines are on the line:
- The Onehunga Branch line connects with the North Auckland Line at Penrose and forms part of the route of MAXX Onehunga Line suburban passenger train services operating between Britomart and Onehunga via Newmarket.
- The Auckland–Newmarket Line, also known as the Newmarket Branch, meets the North Auckland Line in Newmarket and provides a connection with Britomart.
- Further north, the Dargaville Branch branches off in Waiotira. The Dargaville Branch also boasted of a branch of its own, built by the Kaihu Valley Railway Co, and running northwestwards to Kaihu and Donnelly's Crossing.
The Okaihau Branch formerly left the North Auckland Line in Otiria and the Riverhead Branch in Kumeu.

Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or lines:
“That man’s the true Conservative
Who lops the mouldered branch away.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
