Sylvia Park railway station

The original railway station was constructed, along with five others, on 1 September 1929. The station opened to goods traffic initially and eventually opened to all traffic in November the following year. It was situated on the route of the Westfield Deviation. The Westfield Deviation was being built to divert the Auckland–Westfield section of the North Island Main Trunk line (NIMT) via a flatter and faster eastern route to link up with the original NIMT tracks at Westfield Junction. This station was closed during the World War II period (1940–1945) due to the American government buying the land next to the railway and using it for army sheds. The old station closed entirely on 2 March 1983, except for a private siding. and built by ARTNL/ARTA. It opened to the public on 2 July 2007. The station cost NZ$5 million to build. Due to Stage 2 of the Rail Network Rebuild, the Eastern Line between Ōtahuhu and Britomart (which included Sylvia Park station) was temporarily closed for major track renewal work between March 2023 and January 2024. == Services ==
