Description
Raurimu Spiral | Engineering NZ
The Raurimu Spiral is considered an engineering masterpiece. In 1898, its design cemented the route of the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT) railway through the Central Plateau. Engineer Robert West Holmes’ (1856-1936) design for the Raurimu Spiral provided an inspired solution to the steep descent from just above Raurimu township.
