Queen Street (Levin) railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, serving Levin.[2] [3]
It was a passenger-only stopping place, opened on 16 July,[4] or 11 June 1956 and closed on 17 December 1977.[5]
The railway through Queen Street was opened by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company on Monday 2 August 1886, when trains started to run between Longburn and Ōtaki,[6] though a special train had run from Longburn to Ohau in April 1886.[7] The first through train from Wellington to Palmerston North ran on 30 November 1886.[8]
New Zealand Railways Department took over the line in 1908 and, in 1955, work began on a 16feet by 6feet Road Services-type shelter, with a light, timber floor and concrete piles, on a timber fronted, 220feet sealed platform, 8inches above rail level, able to take two twin-car sets. It cost £744.1.11. New steps were built in 1963 and the platform was tar sealed.
Tenders for removal were sought in 1978 and it went in 1985.
