Westfield Railway Station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Westfield Railway Station
Westfield Railway Station is 400 metres south of Westfield Junction, where the Eastern and Southern Lines of the Auckland Railway Network converge. It is near Westfield Junction, which is the junction of the Eastern and Southern Lines. It has an island platform layout and can be reached from a pedestrian overbridge at the end of Portage Road. The overbridge also spans the adjacent Westfield marshalling yards and gives access to KiwiRail's operations centre and locomotive facility. ==History== Westfield station was opened during the expansion of Auckland's suburban railway network, in 1904. Its location is at the western end of Portage Road, Otahuhu, which marks the narrowest point of the Auckland Isthmus. Mount Richmond Domain is nearby. When the station was opened, it gave access to a shallow bay on Manukau Harbour, which became a popular picnic spot. The original station building was merely a wooden shelter on the platform. This was replaced with a newer shelter in the 1960s, whilst the adjacent Westfield Marshalling Yards were being built. Westfield became a junction station between the North Island Main Trunk and the North Auckland Line when the Westfield deviation (Eastern Line) was completed in 1930.
