Macedon railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Macedon, and it opened on 8 July 1861 as Middle Gully. It was renamed Macedon on 1 April 1870.[1][2]
Sidings and a crossover once existed at the station. By 1984, they were abolished.[2] In 1994, the Victoria Street level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station, was closed to road traffic except for emergency access vehicles.[1][2] It was closed altogether in 1995.[2]
In March 2014, the platforms were extended to accommodate longer trains.[3]
