Onehunga Wharf railway station

Onehunga Wharf railway station on the Onehunga Branch section of the Onehunga Line was the terminal station for the line to Auckland in the 19th and early 20th century.

From 1886 until the completion of the North Island Main Trunk line in 1909, travelling to and from Auckland and the lower North Island involved a train journey north to New Plymouth then by coastal ship from New Plymouth to Onehunga.^[vague]

The opening and closing dates given by Scoble are: opened June 1874 and closed April 1892,^[1] although another source says that the station closed in 1927.^[2]
