  • Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations
    Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations in New Zealand 1863 to 2010 Researched & Written by Juliet Scoble for the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand JRS/291 © Juliet Scoble 4/2010 © Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand 4/2010 Introduction This document lists the names of railway stations and the dates they were opened and closed. Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find. Juliet Scoble 4/2010 Acknowledgements Most information has been obtained from the Rail Heritage Trust's Station Archive created and researched by Juliet Scoble, and from research specifically undertaken for this document.
