The Glenbrook Vintage Railway (GVR) is a heritage steam railway in Glenbrook, New Zealand.[1]
The GVR is run by a trust board of three trustees elected and appointed from Railway Enthusiasts Society (RES) membership.[2] The board appoints a general manager who is responsible for day-to-day operation. The 7.4 km (4.6 mi) long railway carries up to 30,000 passengers during the normal operating season, which is from October to June, and is also available for charter throughout the year.
The railway is staffed and maintained by volunteers and RES membership provides automatic access to all activities as a volunteer. Special Events are often held, such as "Day Out With Thomas" weekends,[3] Railfan Days (with display freight trains and other unique consists), Country and Western days and night steam runs.
