The Whitecliffs Branch was a branch line railway that formed part of New Zealand’s national rail network in the Canterbury region of the South Island. It was more industrial than the many rural branches on the South Island’s east coast whose traffic primarily derived from agriculture and it operated from 1875 until 1962.
