The Last Spike memorial is located at the site where the Auckland to Wellington Main Trunk railway was completed in 1908. A double-headed electric freight train heads south past the site.

  • Sorry whoever posted positive feedback before - hit remove, was going to reply "cheers"!

  • Hi. Where exactly is the last spike?

    Im keen to head up there sometime before the centenary. Cheers

  • Its on the main highway from National Park to Ohakune. If heading south, its on the left hand side just after the Makatote viaduct and if your heading north on the right hand side before you get to the Makatote viaduct.

  • Enjoyable video; er, any chance of some shots from ruarimu spiral? (please!)

  • May I reccomend NZ Railscene series. Lindsay gets good, professional clips up and down the country - comes out everythree months. You can buy a copy from his website or subscribe to receive them quarterly. Google majikvideo.
