History
The station was constructed, along with several others, in 1929 on the route of the Westfield Deviation, which was being built to divert the Auckland–Westfield section of the NIMT via a flatter, faster eastern route[3] to link up with the original tracks at Westfield Junction. It was closed on 16 April 1947.[4]
