Glen Eden Train Station

Glen Eden Train Station

Glen Eden Train Station is located on the Western Line of the Auckland Railway Network. The station house is a local historical landmark that was restored in 2001. A cafe is located in the old station building.

When first opened, one of the station's functions was to service the nearby Waikumete Cemetery. Special trains ran from Auckland on Sundays carrying the deceased and their entourage, and a dedicated platform was constructed to serve these trains. [H. J. Hansen and F. J. Neil, "Tracks in the North" (Auckland: H. J. Hansen, 1992), 100.] The coffins were carried in special carriages marked with white crosses.fact|date=November 2007
