The Orepuki Railway Station And Post Office Stands
The Orepuki Railway Station And Post Office Stands at an elevation of 157 feet above the level of the sea, and is forty-three miles from Invercargill, and seventeen from Riverton. The line has recently been extended five miles beyond to Waihoaka, which is the present (1904–5) terminus. The station is built of wood and iron, and has separate entrances for the postal and railway departments. It contains a ladies' waiting-room, a public ticket lobby, and an official workroom. There is a telephone bureau, and a number of private boxes in the postal division. A large passenger platform is available for traffic purposes, and the other buildings include the engine-shed, goods shed, and several railway cottages.
