Traralgon railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the city of Traralgon, in Victoria, Australia. It opened on 1 June 1877, with the current station provided in 1995.[1][2]
The station is the terminus for V/Line's Traralgon line services. It was formerly the junction of the cross country branch line to Maffra and Stratford, which was closed between 1987–1995.[3]
History
Electrification of the Gippsland line to Traralgon was carried out between 1954 and 1956, to support freight traffic in the Latrobe Valley. After that traffic declined, the rail line to Traralgon station was de-electrified on 2 July 1987.[4]
In 1990, the signal box and auxiliary frame at the station were abolished, as well as the up end connections to the former locomotive depot sidings, and the former dock platform for the Maffra line.[1][2]
On 16 June 1995, the current station building and platform opened, as part of a commercial development on the site.[5] The station was sited on the opposite side of the line to the former station. The former station building still exists, under private ownership. The turntable and engine shed have been retainsd, with the latter listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Traralgon is now only used for passenger services, with freight operations ceasing in 1994.
In early 2019, Rail Projects Victoria announced a second platform would be built at the station.[6][7] The project would also involve upgrading the existing pedestrian overpass.[7]
