NZR ADL Class
The New Zealand ADL class consists of ten diesel multiple unit (DMU) cars each coupled to an ADC class trailer, built by Goninan for the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) in the early 1980s. They were purchased by New Zealand Rail Limited in 1993 to replace suburban carriage trains used in Auckland. The units were credited with an increase in patronage in the Auckland system, but have a number of reliability problems due to their age.
The units are operated by Veolia for MAXX.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“There is ... a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language.... Now, so entire is my faith in the power of words, that at times, I have believed it possible to embody even the evanescence of fancies such as I have attempted to describe.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
