The Bluff Railway Station

The Bluff Railway Station was first established in the year 1870, and is the terminus of the Hurunui-Blulf section of New Zealand railways. The present station building is two stories in height, of wood and iron, and was erected in 1904. A ladies' waiting-room and lavatory, parcels and booking office, the stationmaster's office, and the rooms for guards and porters are on the ground floor; and the offices connected with the goods department, on the next floor. There is a commodious passenger platform, and a verandah extends the full length of the building. In addition to the station building, there are large goods, engine and coal sheds. About twenty trains arrive and depart from the Bluff every day, and the stationmaster's staff numbers about twenty, including clerks.
