The loop probably opened on 9 December 1939,[2] or possibly 3 December 1939 and closed on 31 March 1987,[6] or, alternatively, as gazetted, January 1939 to 5 May 1977.[7] The station was clearly visible on a 1983 aerial photo.[8] Electrification came in 1988,[9] which allowed for more powerful locomotives, reducing the need for the passing point on the long gradient. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Te KuitiLine open, station open|next=Puketutu Line open, station closed|route=North Island Main Trunk New Zealand Railways Department|col=}}{{end box}} Waiteti translates to water dripping from the ground.[10] The station was in the valley of the Waiteti Stream.[11]{{Infobox bridge|bridge_name=Waiteti viaduct|image=File:NZR 130 m long 35m high Waiteti railway Viaduct built 1889.jpg|caption=Waiteti Viaduct in 2015|coordinates={{Coord|-38.360509|175.188137|type:landmark_region:NZ|display=inline,title}}|carries=Single track of the North Island Main Trunk|crosses=Waiteti Stream|locale=|official_name=|owner=KiwiRail|design=Plate girder and Pratt truss|material=Wrought iron|length={{convert|128.6|m|ft}}|width=|height={{convert|35|m|ft}}|mainspan=|spans=4|piers_in_water=|load=|clearance=|below=|engineering=PWD|builder=J. & A.

It is the most northerly of the major viaducts on the NIMT. At its highest, the railway is {{Convert|35|m||abbr=on}} above the road to Mangaokewa Scenic Reserve and the Waiteti Stream,[18] a tributary of the Mangaokewa Stream, which flows into the Waipa.[13] Te Araroa walk track runs through the Mangaokewa valley, near the viaduct.[15] The nearby {{Convert|200|ha||abbr=on}} Mangaokewa Scenic Reserve is mainly podocarp/tawa forest with nikau groves.[16]The {{Convert|154|acre||abbr=on}} for the Waiteti section of the railway was acquired under the Public Works Act in 1888, apparently without payment.[17] Design and constructionDesigned by the Public Works Department, Waiteti Viaduct was built by Christchurch firm, J. & A. Anderson & Co, from 1887 to 1889. As the NIMT was extended south, the same firm later built the Makatote, Mangaturuturu, and Manganui-o-te-ao viaducts.[18] Waiteti Viaduct was completed in 1888,[1] tested for loading in March[19] and opened in May 1889.[20] It used 4 lattice girders[18] of {{Convert|32.4|m||abbr=on}},[3] totalling 130 metres (425 feet), supported on 3 lattice piers held in mass concrete abutments and foundations. The wrought iron parts were made in a foundry set up by Anderson in Te Kuiti, then riveted on site. The track and footway were on a rolled iron transom.[18] It was given Category 1 listing by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1990.[18] Maintenance and upgradesBy 1913 trains and locomotives had increased in weight and the viaducts restricted use of Class X locos.[21] So a strengthening scheme proposed to halve each span by adding supports. A concrete pier was to be added at each end, with steel rocking piers supporting the central spans. The concrete piers had reached about {{Convert|60|ft||abbr=on}} , when war put an end to the work, which didn't resume until 1926. The concrete piers were then completed, but rather than the rocking piers, the central spans were strengthened with iron from either end and the end spans replaced with {{Convert|53|ft||abbr=on}} plate girders. They arrived in parts at Te Kuiti, where an Ingersoll-Rand air plant machine was used to rivet the 19.5 ton girders. A detailed account of the work was given in the Railways Magazine in 1927.[22] Further strengthening and maintenance was done between 1950 and 1959, 1970 and 1979[23] in 1983, when the viaduct was painted with red lead primer[24] and in 2017-2018, which included walkway repairs, strengthening of kingposts, replacement of corbels and water blasting.[25] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THA18881129.2.11|title=LATEST TELEGRAMS.
