Kapuni Branch
The Opunake Branch, later the Kapuni Branch was a branch railway of 36.4 km across the southern slopes of Mount Egmont to link the rural town of Opunake with the Marton–New Plymouth Line at Te Roti. With the decline of rural freight, part of the line was closed in 1976, but the 10.9 km section to Kapuni was retained and upgraded to service traffic to the Kapuni natural gas field. A 9 km branch from Kapuni to Manaia was built in 1920-24 to service a ballast pit on the Kaupokonui River, but was closed and the track lifted by 1926.
