It was located on the Wairarapa Line between the stations of Kopuaranga (to the south) and Mangamahoe (to the north) with direct vehicular access from Opaki Kaiparoro Road.

It was proposed in a memorandum of 25 June 1968 to convert Mauriceville to a "switch-out" tablet station to reduce operating expenses for the Traffic Department.

After consulting with affected parties it was decided to keep Mauriceville open for all traffic and to review this position when the goods shed required major maintenance.

[7] Facilities provided at Mauriceville included a small station building, measuring 11.5 by 9.5 feet (3.5 by 2.9 m), a platform, goods shed, and loading bank.

Concerns had been expressed about the practice of storing dairy products, particularly butter, on the platform and under tarpaulins in roadside wagons, and it was desired to have a room in which to keep such goods to reduce the possibility of spoilage.

The Railways Department requested the Mauriceville County Council to seal the roadway in front of the station in February 1939, with work being completed by the following April.

Wairarapa Federated Farmers were consulted and raised no objections to the proposal owing to the little use the goods shed received and that there was sufficient storage space in the station building.

The following figures were supplied in support of this contention: Closure of the goods shed at Mauriceville and its removal to Lower Hutt was approved on 27 November 1975.

It was considered that though this amount of traffic was small, it was typical of a rural railway station like Mauriceville, and it was recommended that the goods shed should not be closed for at least two more years, a decision that was confirmed in January 1977.

The District Engineer advised on 4 August 1980 that the Mauriceville stockyards had been completely cleared away and materials sold to a Masterton resident for $284.48.

The Mauriceville Post Office was accommodated in the station building and was staffed, by arrangement with the Chief Postmaster (Masterton), by members of the railways Traffic Department.

It was intended to install Morse telegraphy equipment in existing Railways Department offices along the line, but in the case of Mauriceville it was noted that there was insufficient space to do so.

Additional space was requested for the new equipment, as well as the construction of a sound-proof telephone box to provide privacy for the transmission of telegrams.

The department considered that the amount of business at Mauriceville did not warrant this, and instead appointed a telegraph message-boy to deliver telegrams and provide general assistance, and requested the Railways Department to advise on the feasibility of providing sufficient space in the station building for 12 private post boxes and space for a telephone exchange if one was justified at some point in the future.

Though the idea of replacing the station building with one from the Motuhora Branch received favourable consideration, a staff shortage meant no further work was done on it.

The District Traffic Manager noted on 25 July 1947 that an inquiry had recently been received from the Post & Telegraph Department as to whether additional space could be provided in the station building to accommodate their requirements.

Also on the same site is a building originally erected for the Mauriceville Dairy Company, another former customer of the railway, but a business that has long since ceased operating.

[7] For a period of seven years from 27 November 1988, the northern section of the Wairarapa Line was effectively mothballed, with no trains scheduled to pass through Mauriceville.

3, 4, 5 on the Palmerston North - Gisborne Line in Q3 2008, and thus the removal of the impediment to running hi-cube containers through the Manawatū Gorge, the Wellington – Napier freight services were redirected to their original route from Q4 2008.
