The Puke Puke Express was a logging railway with a gauge of probably 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) near Puke Puke in Oroua County in New Zealand.
Puke Puke was a sawmilling settlement in Oroua County, close to Puke Puke Lagoon, between Himatangi Beach and Tangimoana. It was set up from nine wooden cottages, probably prefabricated, complete with windows along the railway track in a clearing of the native bush.[1] Both horses and locomotives were used for haulage of logs on railway trucks.
