Puketutu railway station
Puketutu was a flag station on the North Island Main Trunk line, in the Waitomo District of New Zealand. It was 7.21 km (4.48 mi) north of Kopaki and 8.24 km (5.12 mi) south of Waiteti. Initial doubt about the route of the line to the south was resolved by a survey in 1884. It was then said that the bush might provide timber traffic for the railway for 50 years, until it was all converted to farm land. Works were advanced enough for a ministerial party to ride the route to the south on horseback by 1890. Most of the construction was done by cooperatives.
