Defunct railway station in New Zealand
Ongarue railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, serving the sawmill town of Ongarue.[2][3]
In 1900 the station was known as Kawakawa and then Ongaruhe.[4]
From 1922 to 1958 most of the timber freight at the station came from the connected Ellis and Burnand Tramway.[citation needed]
It was the scene of the Ongarue railway disaster in 1923, up to then, the worst rail crash in the country.[citation needed]
In 1941 the station employed a stationmaster and two clerks.[5]
