Casterton railway station

(Redirected from Casterton Railway station)

Casterton railway station was a railway station on the Casterton railway line in Victoria, Australia. The station was built by A. C. Findley, and opened in 1886.[1] A mixed Passenger–goods train continued to operate on the Casterton Line until 1949 when the passenger service was withdrawn. On 15 March 1954, a rail–car service between Branxholme and Casterton was started on a basis of seeing whether it would be profitable or not. This service was cancelled on 31 July 1954.[2] However, the station was never demolished, and following a period of restoration, now operates as a tourist attraction.[1] [3]
