[history] =>
The Railways portfolio was responsible for the railway network and provision of railway services (passenger and freight) around New Zealand. Prior to 1895, the portfolio responsibility for railways fell to the minister for Public Works as the focus was on the construction and completion of lines in the more inaccessible parts of New Zealand. By 1895, the focus had shifted somewhat to the running of the actual rail service and thus a portfolio of Minister of Railways was established
The management of railways went through radical changes whenin 1982, when the old Railways Department became the New Zealand Railways Corporation, an early kind of state-owned enterprise (SOE). In 1990 the corporation’s core business was transferred to a new limited-liability company, New Zealand Rail, in preparation for its sale.
In 1993 New Zealand’s rail system (including the track network) and inter-island ferries were sold for $328 million to a private consortium made up of US investment group Berkshire Partners, US rail company Wisconsin Central, and merchant bankers Fay, Richwhite and Company. Oversight of this transition fell to the Minister of Railways and the portfolio ceased to exist in 1996.
