NZR KA945

Warwick Annear NZR KA945 The Ka class locomotives were an improved version of the K class locomotives first introduced by NZR in 1932. Ka945 was the first built of the Ka class, though not the first in the eventual number series. Among the improvements incorporated in the Ka's were SKF roller bearings in all axleboxes, thicker frames, and a stronger design of the cast steel rear frame under the firebox. Ka945 spent its entire working life allocated to Taumarunui depot and worked both freight and passenger trains on the North Island Main Trunk, through the "mountain country" between Taumarunui and Taihape. Ka 945 is an exceedingly well traveled locomotive, having traversed almost the entire New Zealand rail system
