New Plymouth railway station

New Zealand

New Plymouth railway station was the primary rail terminus in New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand, for around 115 years. It opened in 1875 as part of the region’s first railway (linking New Plymouth with Waitara). Over the decades, three different station buildings were constructed on the site: the original 1875 station, a Troup-era replacement in 1902 (complete with clock-tower), and a post-war station in 1961. The station was the main hub on the Marton–New Plymouth line. Regular passenger services ran until for 108 years until 1983, and the station was formally closed by 1989 when rail yards were relocated out of the city centre. Today, the old station site by the foreshore has been cleared and forms part of New Plymouth’s coastal park and walkway.
