Horopito was a station on the North Island Main Trunk line,[1] in the Ruapehu District of New Zealand. It served the small village of Horopito and lies just to the north of two of the five largest NIMT viaducts. It and Pokaka also lay to the south of Makatote Viaduct, the late completion of which held up opening of the station.
A passing loop remains at the station site.[2]
