Not here - our railways are pathetic and run down - owned by an American company Toll Freight. Try Aussie - they are one short after a crash today - 11 dead unfortunately - risky business. come out anyway - full employment, plenty of jobs. Spose you are looking to migrate as skilled worker?

Aussie company - Toll.

Last time I checked they were looking for drivers on Wellington suburban rail.  They have just had a big investment in 70 or so new units, plus extention of the lines up the coast.

http://www.tollrail.co.nz/ - might have something about employment opportunities.  Pretty sure freight is growing as well.

Our rail Network is owned by the Government - New Zealand Railways Corporation aka: "ONTRACK". They are now, finally, well funded and the infastructure is getting upgraded.
 
Our rail-way stock operations are largely deregulated, but as of yet there is only one player running stock along the lines - Toll Holdings. If you wanted to operate a train in any way, you'd have to approach them.

In theory there is a major upgrade to Auckland suburban, with elecrification.  Would be a growing opportunity I imagine.

Quite right News, There is a good opportunity for rail to grow in Auckland. With the right investment. Except for the North Shore. Well, not in my lifetime.
