NZR RM class - Silver Fern - NZ120
The Silver Fern railcars were introduced by NZR in 1971, and were utilised on the Auckland-Wellington daytime service until 1991. From 1991 to 2001 they operated the Auckland - Tauranga and Auckland - Rotorua services. Following the cancelation of these services, the Silver Ferns transferred to Auckland’s outer suburban services, running between Pukekohe until 2009.

Today all three Silver Ferns are preserved at the Pahiatua Railcar Society.
