History
The station was opened in 1908.[2]
From 1941 to 1954, the Trentham Army Camp had a set of railway sidings used for freight and for troop trains, with a shunting locomotive owned by the Army. Most of the track were removed in the 1970s. The siding was 0.63 km from Heretaunga railway station and 0.53 km from Trentham railway station.[3]
