Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox stationШаблон:Use dmy datesThe Hukanui railway station on the Wairarapa Line was located in the Tararua District of the Manawatū-Whanganui region in New Zealand’s North Island.

The station served the settlement of Hukanui, which was established in 1894, and was briefly called Brownston.[1] The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "heavy snow" for Hukanui.[2]
