Winiata railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand.[1][2] It was decorated with an archway when the 13+12 mi (21.7 km) Mangaweka to Taihape section was opened by the Prime Minister, Richard Seddon, on 21 November 1904.[3]

Opening of the railway at Bosher's siding natural arch, 10 September 1904

Only a single track remains through the station site and there is little sign that there was ever a station there.[4]
