Spotswood railway station
Spotswood railway station is located on the Werribee and Williamstown lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Spotswood opening on 1 December 1878 as Edom, being renamed Bayswater on 1 September 1881, Spottiswoode on 1 October 1881 and Spotswood on 1 August 1905. A disused signal box is located at the southern end of the Platform 1.
Over the years a number of sidings were provided to businesses in the area. In 1914 a branch line was opened at the southern end of the station to the Newport Power Station, in addition to a number of other sidings serving oil terminals in the area. A siding at the northern end of the station served the Australian Glass Manufacturers factory, with the last sand train from Koala Siding to Spotswood running on 15 January 1998. The interlocked crossing gates at Hudson Road were replaced by boom barriers in 1989.Platforms & services
