Paeroa Railway Station

The Paeroa Railway Station is a former railway station in Paeroa; on the Thames Branch, and on the East Coast Main Trunk Railway to Waihi.

The station opened for passengers and goods on 20 December 1895; and was replaced by a new building on a new site on 30 August 1925. The station closed to passengers on 20 July 1959, and to goods on 28 June 1991 with the closing of the Thames Branch.[1]

Work on the proposed Paeroa–Pokeno Line commenced in the 1930s, but little was done and the proposal was abandoned. The line was to be the first part of the East Coast Main Trunk Railway. With the opening of the Kaimai Tunnel in 1979, the Paeroa to Katikati section of the East Coast Main Trunk was closed.
