Dry Creek railway station is a railway station on the Gawler Central railway line which is located in the inner northern Adelaide suburbs of Dry Creek. It is located 10.6km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station. It was the easternmost station of the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide railway line and also the northernmost station on the Gawler Central line before the Northfield branch. Some trains previously used the station as a terminus for local services and an interchange with Gawler Central services (usually for people who live between the Adelaide and Dry Creek stations), but from April 28 2008 these services were discontinued, with all services operating to Gawler or Gawler Central stations.

[edit] Freight

Dry Creek is also the location of a major freight terminal and marshalling yard. A Bogie exchange facility was located here between 1980 and 1995.
