Hukanui railway station
The Hukanui railway station on the Wairarapa Line was located in the Tararua District of the Manawatū-Whanganui region in New Zealand’s North Island.
The station served the settlement of Hukanui, which was established in 1894, and was briefly called Brownston.[1] The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "heavy snow" for Hukanui.[2]
The station opened on 9 October 1896 and closed on 1 August 1988. It became a siding in January 2009.[3]
