Welcome to The Linesider

The Linesider is a quarterly 64-page full colour magazine celebrating New Zealand’s railways.  The magazine has been in print since September 2020, and features high-quality photography, articles, news and opinion pieces.

From September 2025, The Linesider magazine will be published by the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society.

Anyone in New Zealand, whether a NZR&LS member or not, can subscribe to The Linesider for $80 annually (4 issues), or about 10% off the cover price.  NZR&LS members receive an additional discount.

Existing NZR&LS Members please use the usual membership renewal form under the Members section and chose the combined package option under the drop down menu for subscriptions.

We are now in a position to offer The Linesider online to overseas customers.  If you live in Australia you can receive physical copies for NZ$180 annually (4 copies) or NZ$72 Digital copies only.  Due to postage costs we do not intend to post magazines beyond Australia but the rest of the world can subscribe to the Digital copies for NZ$72 annually.
