Located roughly half-way between Featherston and Cross Creek, Pigeon Bush was little more than a flag station on the Wairarapa line. A road deviation was undertaken to provide space for the yard, a situation that has reverted to its original state since closure of the line.
There are no obvious signs of the station remaining today, save for the road deviation which is still visible and now provides access to a neighbouring farm. The railway house that was on site and outlasted the station by several decades has been removed. The piles of the rail bridge south of the station that once crossed the Owhango Stream are still in situ.
