Aramoho Junction Railway Station, which was opened on the 17th of May, 1887, is a wooden building containing stationmaster's and booking-office, luggage and porters' rooms, ticket vestibule, ladies' waiting room and lavatory, large refreshment room with bar, and ladies' luncheon-room. There in also a goods-shod. The platform, which is triangular in shape and laid down with shell ballast, is about 100 yards long. Aramoho Station is a busy scene on through mail days—Tuesdays and Fridays—when the north and south trains between Wellington and New Plymouth pass through. The branch line to Wanganui joins the main line at this junction. The station is under the care of a stationmaster, who is assisted by Mr. D. Burrell, as porter.
