Warragul railway station is located on the Orbost line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Warragul and opened on 1 March 1878.[1] It was the junction station for the branch line to Neerim South and Noojee, which closed in 1958.
The track from Melbourne to Warragul was duplicated in 1952 and electrified in 1954.[1] In the 1990s the station was the terminus of a number of Public Transport Corporation electric passenger services from Flinders Street station. The line was de-electrified in 1987 and the overhead support structures were removed as part of the Regional Fast Rail project.
Tracks in the former yard are now used as storage for concrete sleepers, old and new signals, and rail machines. Tracks on the northern side of the station were moved slightly, to reduce the radius of curves and allow trains to travel at higher speed.
