It's definitely a different rail gauge, I didn't know they had dual gauge track though.

Yeah my thought was to upgrade the line from Wellington up to Auckland with wider gauge 250kph rail but leave the old narrow stuff too for legacy users.

That would be cool, no doubt about it.

An Autorail service would also be very cool.
