Little River Railway Station Museum and Trains

The Little River Railway Station Trust has been working on upgrading our museum - find out about the history of this building and enjoy our trains.

The Little River Railway Station Museum is refreshed and has interesting heritage exhibits on display, recently created by our curator. Come and find out about the interesting history of this railway station on Banks Peninsula.

The railway station building at Little River was built in 1886 when the branch line to Little River from Christchurch was opened. Goods and stock were brought to the station from Akaroa and transferred to railway trucks and wagons at Little River.

The history of this building includes its role in transporting timber, firewood, stock and passengers, as well as its role in post and telegraph services.

The rolling stock on the track by the platform, including the diesel engine, carriage, brake car and wagons will be open and on display.
