The Seddonville Branch, later truncated as the Ngakawau Branch, was a branch line railway in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. Construction began in 1874 and it reached its final terminus at the Mokihinui Mine just beyond Seddonville in 1895. In 1981 it was closed past Ngakawau and effectively became an extension of the Stillwater - Westport Line, since formalised as the Stillwater Ngakawau Line.

Famous quotes containing the word branch:
“True variety is in that plenitude of real and unexpected elements, in the branch charged with blue flowers thrusting itself, against all expectations, from the springtime hedge which seems already too full, while the purely formal imitation of variety ... is but void and uniformity, that is, that which is most opposed to variety....”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
