Geocache Description:

Waiting for the college student commute pick up after school

If you're following my Matarawa series in order, I'm picking you'll look at this photo of Matarawa Train Station and be scratching your head - "Hey 73ponys!  We've been here already!"


This cache is not at these coordinates.

Matarawa railway station is a single-platform  railway station on the Wairarapa Line that serves the small rural community of Matarawa in the Wairarapa district of New Zealand.
In 2007 the small rural station at Matarawa was dark, neglected and facing closure in the face of modifications that were required to accommodate new rail cars.  However, public pressure from the small but determined community instead saw the station recieve a facelift, lighting and a disability ramp.
The little wooden '"Vogel-era, Class 6 passenger shelter" shelter was updated in 2015 and the vintage 'Matarawa' sign was taken down, and repurposed in the area.
