Taupiri was a station on the North Island Main Trunk line with a goods shed [2] and an island platform, [3] serving the small settlement of Taupiri in the Waikato District of New Zealand.

Contents

A stationmaster's house and telegraph office were added in 1882 [4] and a goods shed at about the same time. [5] There were protests when the stationmaster was withdrawn in 1895 [6] and the station was reduced to a flag station, [7] though still staffed. [8] In 1901 this resulted in a case of calves being left at the station. [9]

Mangawara Bridges 272 and 273

Wooden trestle bridge 57 was built in 1877 to cross the Mangawara Stream, just north of Taupiri. When the line was doubled in 1938, [69] bridges 272 and 273 were built alongside. [70] 273 (east) was replaced from 2015 [71] and 272 (west) upgraded. [72] The replacement used 390 tonnes of steel in two 24m girders connected to 5.5m cross beams. [73] The bridge was the last of 8 bridge [74] upgrades to increase line capacity. [75]
