Historic New Zealand Tourist Train For Sale

17 November 2008
The Kingston Flyer steam train operation is for sale for a bargain price of around USD$1.7 million (NZ$3 Million) although major shareholder, Dan McEwan, of Auckland, says “We’re not going to sell to just anyone.” Mr McEwan adds “We would love to see it sold to someone who will love it, look after it and be passionate about it.”
The Kingston Flyer is probably New Zealand’s best known steam train and runs twice daily between Kingston, at the southern tip of Lake Wakatipu to Fairlight. The Kingston Flyer operates for nine months of the year.
The new owner will get two locomotives, seven 1898-vintage steam-heated wooden carriages, a 14km railway line, a lakeside cafe and tavern, a 4.6 hectare development site and couple of railway stations.
