Spring Vale Cemetery station was a railway station in Melbourne, Australia, serving the Springvale Cemetery. It had its own branch line, which split from the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines at Springvale station. It was opened on February 7, 1904, to transport coffins, passengers and staff to the cemetery,[1] and closed during 1952, at a time when many small branch lines were being closed by Victorian Railways.
