Story

Masterton railway station is a single-platform, urban railway station serving the town of Masterton in New Zealand's Wairarapa district. The station lies on the Wairarapa Line, and is located at the end of Perry Street. It is one hour, thirty-seven minutes journey time to Wellington. Trains for the Wairarapa Connection service terminate at this station. Masterton is one of three stations in the town of Masterton, the others being Renall Street and Solway.The station building has a ticket office and café; the yard has working freight-handling facilities, a goods shed, and a turntable and engine/railcar shed.HistoryThe original Masterton station was erected in 1880 and included a goods shed, sheep and cattle yards, and an engine shed with coal and water facilities. In 1894 a windmill and pump were installed to improve the supply of water for locomotive and station use. In 1897 a turntable was installed, and in 1902 the station was refurbished, which included the addition of refreshment rooms. In 1954 a new 55ft turntable was installed, followed two years later by a railcar shed.Following the introduction of diesel-electric locomotives in 1955, the engine shed was used by the Way and Works Branch until it became surplus and was demolished. But the water tanks remained in place until their removal in November 1968.In 1965 a new freight yard and goods shed were established to the west of the original one, followed by the September 1967 opening of a new station building (the present-day structure). The sheep and cattle yards were removed in August 1969.
