The route firstly heads north-east to join the Waimakariri River gorge.
This aqua-blue river will appear and disappear out of your window several times
as the TranzAlpine clings and climbs up the cliffs above it.
During the ascent to the high plains of Craigieburn, there are 15 short tunnels
and four dramatic viaducts, including the 72-metre high Staircase Viaduct.
From Arthur’s Pass, the TranzAlpine descends through the 8.5km long Otira Tunnel.
This landmark structure was the second longest tunnel in the world when it was completed in 1923.
It’s historic completion also marked the completion of the Midland Line
and the opening of the railway line from Christchurch to Greymouth.
