Pigeon Bush railway station Pigeon Bush railway station Pigeon Bush railway station was a single platform, rural railway station in an area of the South Wairarapa district known as Pigeon Bush, about south-west of Featherston, in New Zealand’s North Island. The station was between Featherston and Cross Creek stations on the Wairarapa Line. The station was bypassed when the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened. During work on the Incline Contract for the Rimutaka Incline, land was taken just north-east of Lucena’s Creek (known today as Owhanga Stream) for a road diversion around what was to become the yard for a station identified on plans as
Yimbun Railway Tunnel HC Stanley; the steel and concrete Harlin Rail Bridge over Maronghi Creek at Harlin; and the Yimbun Railway Tunnel. Approximately two dozen timber rail bridges are still intact, although their condition varies greatly. Yimbun Railway Tunnel is located between and from Wulkuraka station along the former Brisbane Valley Branch Line formation and is sited beneath a saddle between two knolls. Yimbun Railway Tunnel is a semi-elliptical, concrete-lined, straight tunnel that is long and has a gradient of 1:165 against north-bound traffic. It has an earthen floor and is approximately high at its apex. Both portals feature the date "1910". The
