message: The line is no longer called the Otago Central Railway. It is therefore worth a thought as to whether the article should be split into sections or separate articles describing each of the parts separately. I find that the reference that the line is now 64 km in length instead of its previous length to be dubious as it was shortened to this length after its formal closure and renaming. 
My understanding also is the Taieri Branch terminates at 3.5 km (not 4 km) although it is difficult to locate a verifiable source for this information at present. PatrickDunfordNZ (talk) 05:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
