From 1927 until closure in 1978, the Waihi Station was a part of the East Coast Main Trunk linking the Bay of Plenty with both the Waikato and Auckland Centres.
The Goldfields Railway Society was established in 1980 to preserve the rail heritage of the local area with the Society being based on the old Waihi Railway Station. Since that time the Society has grown to now operate a tourist railway between Waihi and Waikino, plus cater for the aspirations of both the history buff and the railway enthusiast.
