DTG Inc.
DTG Inc is the Christchurch-based operator of a fleet of ex-New Zealand Railways diesel-electric locomotives.
Canterbury
We are the only specialised custodians and restorers of New Zealand's English Electric diesel rail heritage. With five locomotives and over 40 years of experience, we're dedicated to showcasing high quality locomotives and railway histories to communities.
Currently three of our locomotives are in operation with heritage railways you can visit: DI 1102 and DE 512 at Weka Pass Railway (Waipara) and DE 511 with Canterbury Rail Society (Ferrymead).
We have several projects that will mean our locomotives will be enjoyed more than ever. We're currently working to put DI 1102 and DG 772 back on the mainline following Covid 19. Your support means we can meet our 2025 goal. In the long term we're working hard to restore DF 1501, New Zealand's first mainline diesel electric locomotive, a mechanical taonga (treasure).
If you'd like to contribute in other ways or discuss it further please contact secretary@dtg.co.nz
