    The Helensville railway station formerly served the town of Helensville, 40 kilometres northwest of Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. It was a stop on the North Auckland Line, and was the next major station north of Waitakere. At one time it was called the Hellensville North Railway Station. Though closed in 1987 , the site still features the original wooden building, which has been restored, and has a shunting yard and KiwiRail Network depot. The platform was modernized in 2007 as part of a trial to reintroduce a commuter train service to Auckland. There is an old steam locomotive at the entrance to the platform from the station car park.
