Branch Lines
Three branch lines are on the line:
- The Onehunga Branch line connects with the North Auckland Line at Penrose and forms part of the route of MAXX Onehunga Line suburban passenger train services operating between Britomart and Onehunga via Newmarket.
- The Auckland–Newmarket Line, also known as the Newmarket Branch, meets the North Auckland Line in Newmarket and provides a connection with Britomart.
- Further north, the Dargaville Branch branches off in Waiotira. The Dargaville Branch also boasted of a branch of its own, built by the Kaihu Valley Railway Co, and running northwestwards to Kaihu and Donnelly's Crossing.
The Okaihau Branch formerly left the North Auckland Line in Otiria and the Riverhead Branch in Kumeu.

Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or lines:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
