Broadford railway station


Broadford railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Broadford and opened on 18 April 1872.

History

Broadford station was opened in 1872 with the North East line to Wodonga. The duplication of the line was carried out north to Tallarook in 1883, and then south to Wandong in 1886.
The first station building was provided in 1878, and for many years, the station had two goods sheds, one each side of the line, along with lengthy platforms for timber traffic. They were removed in 1909, and a cool store was erected.
The present station building dates to 1960, when the station was rebuilt to accommodate the new standard gauge line to Albury. For the same reason, the goods shed, crane and livestock race were relocated to the west side of the main line. The majority of goods sidings have since been removed, along with a number of points leading into the sidings.
Broadford Loop opened on the parallel standard gauge line in 1962, along with the line.
In February 2019, the station was abolished as a double line block post, and the signal box, signals and all associated equipment was removed.
