}}{{Use New Zealand English|date=August 2015}}Horotiu railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand serving Horotiu.[2][3]{{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Ngaruawahia

It was a 'flag station', originally {{Convert|3|mi|km|abbr=on}} north of Te Rapa and {{Convert|4|mi|km|abbr=on}} south of Ngāruawāhia and named Pukete.[4] The station was moved just over a mile to the north in 1880, to be 76 mi (122 km) from Auckland.[5] It seems no explanation was given[6] for the controversial move.[7] The station changed its name from Pukete to Horotiu on 23 June 1907.[8]

Traffic remained light, amounting to £49 in 1901.[9] It was converted to a switch-out station in 1909,[10] equipped with distant signals in 1916,[11] when the AFFCO sidings opened,[12] and had other alterations to signalling and interlocking in 1934,[13] with extension of automatic signalling from Mercer to Frankton.[14] In 1930 Frankton to Horotiu ({{Convert|6|mi|55|ch|abbr=on|km}}) was double tracked, with automatic signalling also extended {{Convert|34|mi|72|ch|abbr=on|km}} to Mercer. Horotiu's power interlocking was the first automatic operation of main line points in the country, replacing home and distant signals, Wood's locks[15] (a single key for signal and facing points, named after S P Woods of McKenzie and Holland)[15] and the tablet station.[16] The {{Convert|3|mi|54|ch|abbr=on|km}} north to Ngāruawāhia was double track from 5 December 1937.[17]

Accidents

In 1916 a goods trains collided with wagons.[18]
