From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boston Road Railway Station is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network, near Mt Eden Prison and St Peter's College, a Catholic secondary school. It is directly under State Highway 1, one of the busiest motorways in New Zealand.
Until double-tracked to Mt Eden in 2005, morning trains ran on the right through the loop and afternoon trains on the left, avoiding the need for St Peter's pupils to cross the line.

- 1964: Opened, with one daily service each way on school days.[1]
