Hukanui railway station

The Hukanui railway station on the Wairarapa Line was located in the Tararua District of the Manawatū-Whanganui region in New Zealand’s North Island.

The station served the settlement of Hukanui, which was established in 1894, and was briefly called Brownston. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "heavy snow" for Hukanui.



The station opened on 9 October 1896 and closed on 1 August 1988.

The 162 m bridge across Mangatainoka River, to the south of Hukanui, is the longest on the line.
