Halcombe is a small Manawatū village about 13 kilometres north-west of Feilding, settled in 1876 and named after immigration agent Arthur Halcombe. When the railway reached it in 1877 and pushed on to Whanganui the next year, Halcombe became the main railway junction of the central North Island, and was the only station on the line with refreshment rooms where trains paused for twenty minutes. The junction role later shifted to Palmerston North, and today Halcombe is a quiet rural community proud of its railway heritage.
