Woodend railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Woodend, and opened on 8 July 1861.[2][3]
At the time of opening it was the terminus of the railway line after being extended from Sunbury. It remained the terminus until it was extended to Kyneton the next year[4][5]
In December 1897, the original station building was destroyed by fire.[2][3]
In 1960, a crossover at the up end of the station was abolished.[2][3]
The station once had extra sidings on the far side of Platform 2, as well as a turntable. The sidings were abolished in February 1990,[2][3] and the turntable was relocated to Castlemaine in the early 1990s, for use by the Victorian Goldfields Railway.
In March 1995, the signal box was abolished, and was replaced with a signal bay within the Platform 1 station building.[3] A crossover at the down end of the station and the turntable road were also abolished by March of that year.[3] On 17 January 2005, the signal bay itself was abolished.[6]
The original stationmaster's house still stands. It was built in 1897 and, at the time, the stationmaster was able to see along the track from the doorways.
The disused Carlsruhe station is located between Woodend and Kyneton stations.
