Petone Station And Yard

Between 2007 and 2009 State Highway 2 (SH2) was re-aligned between Dowse Drive and Petone (the D2P project). These "aerial" photographs were taken from Korokoro Road. It is possible that AP Godber took some photographs from the same location.

Petone Signal Box Before Dowse To Petone Project

Petone aerial before

SH2 runs diagonally across the scene. It has been on this alignment since at least the 1940s. Until the 1980s the land betwen the state highway and Petone Station/Signal box was the Petone railway yard.

Until the 1905 duplication and deviation the single track railway was approximately on the alignment of SH2. The second Petone Station, closed in 1905, was approximately on the right near the red-roofed building. The Petone railway workshops were out of site to the right.
