Traralgon is a major railway station on the Bairnsdale railway line in Traralgon Victoria, Australia. The station is located on the Princes Highway. Traralgon was formerly the junction of the cross country branch line to Maffra and Stratford (closed between 1987-1994) and has historically been the Gippsland region's principal operational location.
In 1995 a new station was built. This current station is located on the opposite side of the tracks to the former station. The former station building still exists and is under private ownership. The area still retains a turntable and engine shed, with the latter listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The majority of Gippsland line passenger services terminate at this location, which is now only used for passenger purposes, freight business ceasing on site in 1994.
Between 1956 and 1987 the line between Melbourne and Traralgon was electrified. Upgrades to the line as part of the Regional Fast Rail project between 2005 and 2006 allow VLocity operated services to Traralgon.
