The Kurow Branch (also known as the Hakataramea Branch) was a branch line railway that formed part of New Zealand's national rail network. Located in the North Otago region of the South Island, it was built in the 1870s to open up the land behind Oamaru for development and closed in 1983.

Famous quotes containing the word branch:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
