Geocache Description:

The Inglewood Railway Station is a historically singificant building which is beloved by the community.


Inglewood Railway Station has considerable significance as New Zealand's oldest remaining station still on its original site. It is an example of a modified Vogel Class 4 Station. It was built in 1876, in anticipation of the Marton to New Plymouth railway line which opened in 1878. The station was extended in 1891 and again in 1987 to accommodate the Post Office. The verandah was added in 1896. Scheduled passenger services to Inglewood ceased in 1980 but freight still continues to trundle past on its way to Waitara or New Plymouth.

Please do not cross the railway lines to get to the station, parking and access is easy from Moa Street.

There are swaps available.

The presence of this cache will become evident while you are reading the signs on the wall of the station telling the history of the station.

Be aware of muggles in the cafes and shops across the road in Inglewood township.

Cache replaced 24/11/2024 due to previous one going missing.
