what is it?
The New Zealand FM guards van is a rail vehicle on New Zealand's national rail network by KiwiRail and a number of other operators. Originally used on freight trains, they are now used primarily on passenger trains, reclassified AG, and some maintenance of way trains. Built in two batches by Mitsubishi (1977) and Daewoo (1981), they were the last order of guards vans made by NZR before all guards vans were withdrawn from freight trains in 1987.
