The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 5, Issue 8 (February 1, 1931)

[section]

The railways enable us to connect with means for reaching places which, while well worth a visit, would otherwise be too far out-of-the-way. Such a place is Raglan. The writer was astonished at some people's hazy idea of where Raglan is. Its position was placed at various localities from “north of Auckland” to “somewhere in the South Island.” Frankton Junction is the converging point of lines of railway from Auckland, Rotorua, and as far south as Palmerston North and Wellington. Take the train to Frankton Junction, and you are at the place to connect with a motor service to Raglan. But why go to Raglan, you ask? Because this little township, just inside the entrance to Whaingaroa Harbour, contains just the climatic conditions and natural attractions of a superb holiday resort.
