Te Aro Railway Station was a station in Wellington, New Zealand, near what is now the corner of Wakefield and Tory Streets. It was the terminus of the short-lived Te Aro Extension of the Hutt Valley Line and Wairarapa Line, opened in 1893, which can also be regarded as a branch line. The line was provided to extend Wellington passenger services through the centre of the Wellington CBD from the main Lambton Railway Station on the northern side of Wellington. There were no freight facilities provided, although Hoy’s sketch of the station layout shows a Defence Siding & Store, plus three sidings, a footbridge and water tanks. Patronage was affected by the Wellington tramway system, which was electrified from 1900, and the line was closed in 1917. ==Location== In 2007, the demolition of The Warehouse building on Tory St revealed remains of the track and platform of the station. After the station closed in 1917 the buildings were converted into a fruit and vegetable market that was demolished in July-August 1958. The site is now occupied by the Museum Hotel and Monument Apartments. The remains of the two platforms, their tracks and some point rodding were all removed in 2007.
