Kingston Branch [2C]: Invercargill-Makarewa 3: Waikiwi 1

Waikiwi is a former station north of Invercargill on the former Kingston Branch (now Ohai Line). It was 2.73 miles (2 miles 58 chains) from Invercargill. There were several sidings there but the type of traffic that went through Waikiwi is currently unknown to me. A little north of Waikiwi was the McSkimmings Pipe Works which had its own siding. These maps are from1964, 1972 and 2015.

(Note: We use only distances from working timetables. At the moment the last working timetable I have that mentions Waikiwi is 1952, therefore the distance is in miles)
