Mangaweka railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT), serving the village of Mangaweka in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand. The original station opened in 1902 and closed on 15 November 1981.[1][2][3] A new station then opened to the east,[4] on the Mangaweka deviation on 18 November 1981, though only for parcels, small lots, and as a passing loop,[5] which still remains.[6]
The station was important as the terminus of the line from Wellington from 1902 to 1904.
