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.[3]
The 162m (531feet) bridge across Mangatainoka River, to the south of Hukanui, is the longest on the line.[4]
