The Petone Workshops were a government-owned railways maintenance and repair facility located in Petone, in Lower Hutt in the Wellington region of New Zealand's North Island. It took over construction and maintenance of rolling stock in the Wellington region from the Pipitea Point facility, starting in 1876,[1] and became the only such facility in the region from 1878[2] until the opening of the replacement Hutt Workshops facility in 1929.[3]
