The Hastings Railway Station in Hastings, New Zealand was the main railway station in Hastings and an intermediate stop on the Palmerston North–Gisborne Line. The station was on the corner of Russell Street (which ran alongside the line) and St Aubyn Street, and was close to the centre of Hastings.
On 12 October 1874 the station and the first section of the line south from Napier to Hastings was opened. The station was taken over from the contractor on 18 January 1875.[1] The line through the Manawatu Gorge to Palmerston North and hence to Wellington was opened on 9 March 1891.
