History

The area was part of the Ngāti Raukawa rohe.[4] In 1877 land was acquired for a railway ballast pit at Kopua.[5] In 1879 Kopua was a clearing of about 1 mi (1.6 km) by ¼ mile[6] in the Seventy Mile bush.[7] Sawmills were set up as soon as the line opened.[8] Wilding & Bull had a mill at

From 1880 Kopua had 2 trains a day.[9] It was shown in 1891 as a flag station, still with 2 trains a day.[10] It didn't appear in 1897 adverts.[11]

A Royal Commissioner reported adversely on the Napier line extension to Woodville, which stopped until the end of 1881, except for a few short lengths for unemployment relief just before the 1881 election. Mangatawainui viaduct, between Makatoko and Matanui, cost about £8,000. In the middle of 1883 tenders were called for this portion of the line, but the contractors failed and the Government took over.[12] Joseph Jay & Henry James Haines had won the Tahoraite contract for £13,615 on 8 June 1883.[13] Haines put the failure down to unusually bad weather.[14] The engineer from Kopua to Tahoraite is Mr J. T. Carr, who has been assisted by Messrs J. Fulton, H. F. Moody, and D. Ross. The principal bridge contractors were Messrs Proudfoot and McKay, of Dunedin, Joseph Saunders, of Wellington, and H. M'Kenzie and Co., of Dunedin. Mr Glendinning, of Napier, was contractor for the permanent way. The excursion train at the opening of the extension carried about 500. On reaching the terminus there was a large assemblage of settlers and Maoris. Several carriages conveyed those who desired it back along the road to Allardice's Hotel which was the nearest place for dinner, 4 coach loads went to Woodville.[12]

Mangatera Viaduct around 1910

Mangatera Viaduct

Mangatera Viaduct, over the Mangatera Stream, is 100 m (330 ft) long and up to 25 m (82 ft) high.[16] It is now Bridge 145, a short distance north of Mangatera station.[17]

Traffic was turned over the new Piri Piri Viaduct on 31 January 1901. Fire on bridge at Piri Piri on 29 October 1933.[5]

An 1882 contract gave the job of building Piripiri and Mangatera viaducts to M McKenzie of Dunedin for £9,350.[18]

Makotuku Viaduct is east of the station, between Makotuku and Ormondville.[19] There are 6 large viaducts on the 24.57 km (15.27 mi) between Kopua and Dannevirke, including Makotuku Viaduct (bridge 155),[20] which is 128 m (420 ft) long and 26 m (85 ft) high,[21] over Makotuku Stream, a tributary of the Manawatū River.[22]

The original timber (probably totara)[23] truss viaduct was built between 1878[24] and 1880 by Proudfoot and M'Kay A Graham. It was 260 ft (79 m) long, 92 ft (28 m) above the stream and used 155,600 ft (47,400 m) of timber, and 6¼ tons of iron, in 7 x 30 ft (9.1 m) spans, 1 x 13 ft (4.0 m), 2 x 11 ft (3.4 m), and 2 x 6 ft (1.8 m). The contract for this and the two bridges to the north was for £16,758,[25] or £15,195 1s 8d.[26]

J & A Anderson & Co of Christchurch won a tender for a wrought iron replacement. It was rebuilt in 1899, 0 ft (0 m) higher than the original bridge.[27] In the same era Andersons also rebuilt Kopua (1895), Makotuku (1898), Mangatera (1900), Ormondville (1906) and Makatote (1908) viaducts.[28]
