Dunedin Railway Station

Dunedin Railway Station

　 IntroductionDunedin Railway Station was opened in 1906. The station was constructed using Kokonga basalt and then faced with Oamaru limestone, incorporating a variety of shapes, textures, and materials. It was designed by architect George A. Troup, who styled the Dunedin Railway Station in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style. Its grand, magnificent, and opulent appearance earned him the nickname "Gingerbread George." After a complete renovation in 1999, the building was fully restored to its former glory. Dunedin Railway Station now operates two daily sightseeing trains through the Taieri Gorge, with bus connections from the final stop at Middlemarch to Queenstown. The sightseeing train passes rugged mountain peaks and meandering rivers through the gorge, offering passengers breathtaking views from the elevated tracks and tunnels—an unforgettable experience.
