Egmont Road railway station was a small request stop on Marton-New Plymouth line railway line just south of New Plymouth, in Taranaki, New Zealand. It opened for passenger traffic on 14 October 1875 and was used as a flag stop with no dedicated freight facilities. Egmont Road station closed on 10 October 1959 when it was dropped as a passenger stop.
In 1873, surveys for the best route south of New Plymouth favoured an inland alignment, better suited to future extensions. As a result, the railway diverged from the coastal highway, with stopping places established wherever the line crossed key roads. Egmont Road, being one of these intersections, was selected as one of the original stops when the line between New Plymouth and Waitara opened on 14 October 1875.
Like many halts on the newly opened line, Egmont Road was not furnished with any passenger facilities. Trains simply stopped at the level crossing if flagged by waiting passengers. Dissatisfaction with the lack of amenities was voiced early. In 1884, a public meeting of local residents urged the Railways Department to provide a shelter shed and goods siding, but no action was taken.
An 1894 Railways Department report described the stop as follows:
Even with such a modest price tag, it was to be another four years before work was complete. By then, Egmont Road finally had a passenger platform and shelter, and could receive passenger traffic, parcels and small lots of consigned goods. Larger amounts of goods could be consigned to Smart Road, which was only away, or Henwood Road, which was away.
A notable infrastructure upgrade at Egmont Road came in 1938, not for the station facilities but for the road crossing adjacent to the station. In a joint project between the Railways Department and local authorities, a road underpass for Egmont Road was constructed beneath the railway line. This grade separation greatly improved safety on the busy rural arterial road connecting New Plymouth with communities in the direction of Mount Egmont, occurring three years after a driver had been badly injured when his vehicle was clipped by the passing New Plymouth - Wanganui express. Notably, Egmont Road was one of the first non-highway roads in New Zealand to receive a grade-separated crossing (excluding major deviation works).
By the 1950s, usage of the station had declined to negligible levels. In June 1959, the Railways Department announced plans to close the station, citing extremely low patronage and the absence of originating traffic. Egmont Road station was officially closed to all traffic on 10 October 1959, and the shelter shed was removed shortly afterwards.
Today, there is no sign that there was ever a stopping place at Egmont Road. The railway overpass still exists (although rebuilt), and the new Smart Road Freight Terminal begins immediately to the west of the road crossing.
