History

On 9 November 1888, the line from Williamstown Racecourse to Altona Beach (now Altona) was opened.[2] Seaholme station opened on the line on 26 January 1920.[1] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a housing estate that opened in the early 1920s.[9] Electrification was provided on 2 October 1926.[10]

In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the Millers Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station, with boom barriers provided in 1985.[1]

There used to be two stations, Mobiltown[12] and Williamstown Racecourse,[13] between Seaholme and Newport, but they are now closed and demolished. The stations were closed on 18 January 1984 and 22 May 1950, respectively.[14][15]
