Rangiriri was a flag station about 2 km (1.2 mi) south-east of Rangiriri,[2] on the North Island Main Trunk line, in the Waikato District of New Zealand, 56 mi (90 km) south of Auckland.

[5] The early service averaged about 13 mph (21 km/h), taking about 4hr 30 mins to Auckland, 15mins to Ohinewai and 38mins to Ruawaro (Huntly).

[6] Track doubling to ease congestion had been authorised in 1914,[7] but work was delayed by the war.

Doubling from Ohinewai to Te Kauwhata didn't open until 14 December 1958.

[14] 1896 returns show that Firth had an interest in goods traffic at Rangiriri at that time.
