The Walton Park Branch was located in Otago, New Zealand and operated from 1874 until 1957, except for the first section, which survived until 1980. It was adjacent to the Fernhill Branch and was, in the words of David Leitch and Brian Scott, essentially "an industrial service siding rejoicing in the status of a branch line."〔David Leitch and Brian Scott, ''Exploring New Zealand's Ghost Railways'', revised edition (Wellington: Grantham House, 1998 ()), 90.〕 ==Construction==
The line was built to serve coal mines and ran east from the Main South Line, with the junction at Burnside. Construction commenced on 17 February 1874, and on 2 July 1874, it was open some 3.22 kilometres to Walton Park.〔Otago Witness, 31 March 1898, ("Chronological Index of the Settlement of Otago: 1874" ), accessed 13 October 2007.〕 Five years later, a brief extension of 0.77 km was opened to Saddle Hill on 24 September 1879. The only structure associated with the branch built along its entire length was a shelter shed at Walton Park.〔Leitch and Scott, ''Exploring New Zealand's Ghost Railways'', 90.〕
