"Taumarunui (on the Main Trunk Line)" (often styled without parentheses or simply as "Taumarunui") is a New Zealand folk song, written sometime during the 1950s. It is set in the refreshment room at Taumarunui's railway station, which was a major traditional stop for trains running along the North Island Main Trunk railway, lying approximately halfway between Auckland and Wellington. An early publication of the lyrics, as a poem, came in a 1958 edition of The New Zealand Listener. The song is often credited to Peter Cape, whose recording was released in 1957.
