Officer railway station


Officer railway station is located on the Gippsland line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Officer, and opened on 4 August 1881 as Officer's Siding. It was renamed Officer on 13 February 1899. On 13 May 1956, a new station opened east of the original site.
Flashing signals were provided at the nearby Station Street/Officer South Road level crossing in 1976. A decade later, in 1986, boom barriers were added.
The former goods siding was taken out of service in 1988. The main line points leading into the siding were spiked, and were removed at a later date.
In 2011/12, it was the 2nd least used station in Melbourne's metropolitan system, with 55,000 passenger movements.
