Building a Sanctuary for Steam

What is the plan for Kaitoke?

14

The Trust proposes to replicate the Kaitoke station yard and buildings on a new alignment, 600m to the east of the original.

Key railway heritage features required for a reinstated Kaitoke station include:

  • Station building with refreshment rooms
  • Water vats
  • Signal box
  • Semaphore signaling

These structures would be faithfully replicated as far as is practicable. Passengers will be able to take refreshments in the refreshment rooms, look through the interactive displays in the station building and explore some of the heritage features within the station complex.

The general layout of the Kaitoke station proposal is included in the Kaitoke deviation page.
