The Rewanui Branch, sometimes referred to as the Rewanui Incline[nb 1] and known as the Point Elizabeth Branch in its early years,[2] was a branch line railway located in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. It branched from the Midland Line near its western terminus in Greymouth and ran up to Rewanui in the Paparoa Ranges. The branch closed in 1985 but the first six kilometres to Runanga remain in operation as part of the Rapahoe Branch.
