Kimihia Railway Station was on the North Island Main Trunk line, north of Huntly in the Waikato District of New Zealand. The station was in 1886 measured as 19 mi 33 ch (31.2 km) south of Mercer,[2] which is where an unnamed block is shown on the 1929 map,[3] near the junction of Fisher Road with SH1, about 1.4 km (0.87 mi) north of the junction with the Kimihia branch. That junction was 101.06 km (62.80 mi) south of Auckland and 576.54 km (358.25 mi) from Wellington.[4]
One source said it was much nearer Huntly, where Kimihia Rd crossed the railway.[5] Kimihia Rd level crossing was closed to traffic in 1945.[6]
