Preserved former New Zealand Government Railway and industrial steam and diesel locomotives run along a scenic 1.5-kilometre stretch of restored track that was bypassed in the 1950s. Named after Hull's Creek running alongside it, this volunteer-run heritage railway lets visitors climb aboard historic carriages for roughly 15-minute return trips, giving families a living glimpse of regional rail travel in motion rather than behind museum ropes.
Public passenger rides run from 11am to 4pm on the first and third Sundays of the month for most of the year, dropping to just the first Sunday through June, July, August, and December, alongside selected public holiday Mondays. You will find the station grounds at 1 Reynolds Bach Drive in Stokes Valley, roughly thirty kilometres from Wellington. Our pick in the Hutt Valley for an easy Sunday heritage excursion with children.
