Trains in New Zealand are planning to close their open-air compartments due to unsafe selfies taken by tourists.

KiwiRail's Great Journeys of New Zealand announced in April that it will be canceling its outdoor carriages after many "near misses."

"A review carried out over recent months revealed an increasing number of passengers putting themselves and others in danger by leaning out of the carriage to take photographs," Katie McMahon, the rail service's "Director of Zero Harm," told CNN Travel in a statement.

"Despite the number of signs and announcements on board our trains pointing out the dangers of this, we have seen passengers leaning out with selfie sticks, iPads and their bodies, often unaware of an approaching tunnel which could cause a tragic incident for themselves, and others in the carriage,” she added.
