This line is now part of the Kapiti section of the North Island Main Trunk. The station was opened on 2 August 1886.

The first revenue-earning train, a stock train from Longburn to Johnsonville with 355 sheep and 60 head of cattle had run on 30 October. The last spike monument is now in the carpark at Southward Car Museum. The station served Otaihanga, a then-rural area between Paraparaumu and Waikanae which is now mainly residential.
