Elmore railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the town of the same name. The station opened on 19 September 1864 as Runnymede, but was renamed Elmore on 1 November 1876.[1]
History
Elmore was opened along with the line to Echuca.[1] The station, like the township itself, was named after the Elmore Estate, which was part of the Burnewang pastoral run. The name was possibly inspired by the English town of Elmore, Gloucestershire.[2]
In 1916, a 70 ft. turntable was provided at the station. The siding leading to the turntable was abolished in 1957. In 1976, the siding leading to the dock platform was abolished.[1]
The station was the junction for the Script error: No such module "convert". branch line to Cohuna, which was opened on 10 November 1915.[1] The last section of the branch was closed in 1987,[3] and the connection to it had been removed by July 1988.[4]
In 2016/2017, the station was recorded as the least-used railway station in Victoria, with an average of 2.42 boardings per day.[5]
A disused station, Avonmore, is located between Elmore and Goornong.
