Track

The Weka Pass Railway operates 12.8 km of the former Waiau Branchline between Waipara and its terminus at Waikari.

Turntables

The railway has a turntable at both Glenmark and Waikari. A 55-foot turntable was installed in Waikari on 3 October 2002,[4] and was recommissioned on 31 August 2003.

Buildings

Glenmark Station

The ex-Mina Railway Station was built in 1910, and served many passenger trains along the Main North Line, and had been extensively refurbished.

Waikari Station

The ex-Hundalee Station was built in 1939, and is a standard class A station. The station also served many passenger trains along the Main North Line. The building was purchased by the WPR, and was transported to Waikari on 29 October 1991.

Locomotive depot and workshop

In the mid 1980s, a two-road workshop was built in the old Waipara rail yard. The depot was later extended to a three-road depot in 2005, and a pit was installed.

Carriage Shed

Between 2005 and 2006, a two-road carriage shed was built, and was fitted with roller doors. It houses the WPRs carriage fleet.

Gate Huts

Because of the railway running through private farmland, Gate Keepers are assigned to Gates № 1 and 2. Because of this, a hut is allocated to both gates.
