Pokeno Railway Station

The Pokeno Railway Station is a former railway station in Pokeno on the North Island Main Trunk Line. It opened for passengers on 20 May 1875 and for goods on 6 April 1879.

The station closed to passengers on 24 June 1973 and to goods on 30 March 1980.[1]

Work on the proposed Paeroa–Pokeno Line commenced in 1938 and whilst approximately 13km of earthworks were completed at each end, the proposal was halted due to World War 2 and was not resumed following the war and was abandoned. The line was to be the first part of the East Coast Main Trunk Railway.
