Heywood railway station is a disused station in the town of Heywood, in the state of Victoria, Australia. The last passenger train between Ararat and Portland was on 12 September 1981, operated by a DRC railcar.[1] The platform and station building are still in place at Heywood, although in a disused condition. Some of the former yard remains as unconnected Broad Gauge track, with power connections also provided to a work camp area. The former goods shed was removed by October 1983.[2]
A branch line was opened from Heywood to Mount Gambier in 1917.[3] Service was suspended in 1995, due to the standardisation of the Maroona – Portland line.
