KiwiRail to end electric freight haulage

http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/infrastructure/single-view/view/kiwirail-to-end-electric-freight-haulage.html

It would be effective to electrify just around Auckland to supply electricity only for commuter trains.
It won't be cost-effective to supply electricity few long-haul trains.
