New Zealand .Redwood, Wellington
Redwood is a southern area of Tawa, a ward of
Wellington, New Zealand . It is on theNorth Island Main Trunk Railway and is served by two railway stations:Redwood Railway Station andTakapu Road Railway Station . The line was originally built on a different route slightly further east by theWellington and Manawatu Railway Company , and theWellington toParemata section opened on24 September 1885 without a station in Redwood. The line was incorporated into theNew Zealand Railways Department network in December 1908, but the stations in Redwood were not opened until19 June 1937 , when the present-day route on theTawa Flat deviation was opened and the older, more circuitous route closed.
