Steam Incorporated is a charitable heritage rail society based in Paekākāriki, New Zealand, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the nation’s rich railway history. Since 1972, the organization has restored and operated vintage steam and diesel locomotives, along with historic passenger carriages, offering nostalgic rail journeys across the national rail network.

Operating from a historic locomotive depot, Steam Inc. brings the golden age of rail travel to life. Their fleet includes meticulously restored locomotives and carriages, many dating back to the early 20th century, and their excursions recreate the charm and elegance of rail travel from the 1920s to 1960s.
Steam Incorporated’s public excursions, including themed events like the North Pole Express and School Holiday Steam, attract thousands of passengers annually. These journeys not only provide unforgettable experiences but also educate and inspire future generations about New Zealand’s rail heritage.
As a registered charity, Steam Inc. relies on public support, volunteers, and donations to continue its restoration work and maintain operational standards. Supporting Steam Incorporated means helping preserve a living piece of history—keeping the sights, sounds, and spirit of steam rail alive for all to enjoy.
