The Bluff Branch, officially the Bluff Line since 2011, is a railway line in Southland, New Zealand that links Invercargill with the port of Bluff. One of the first railways in New Zealand, it opened on 5 February 1867 and is still operating. Presently, it essentially functions as an elongated industrial siding.
