Kyabram railway station was opened on Friday, 19 August 1887. It is on the Toolamba–Echuca railway line, in Victoria, Australia.
Status
[edit]The line has not been used for passenger services for some time, and even freight movements on this line are non-existent, with the line booked out of service.[citation needed]
Infrastructure
[edit]The platform at Kyabram still exists in a reasonable condition, with a gravel car park. There is also a siding track still present at this location. Flashing lights were provided at the nearby Albion Street level crossing, located towards Toolamba, in 1972.[1] The former toilet block was demolished in August 1986.[2] The down end crossover points were spiked out of use around this time.[2] In May 1988, the goods platform and storage shed were demolished.[3] A number of sidings were abolished in 1991, including No. 3 road and the stock siding.[4]
