Yantaringa railway station, South Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yantaringa railway station was located about 41km by rail from Adelaide Railway Station. Yantaringa[1] was actually a passing siding on the Melbourne-Adelaide railway[citation needed] in the Adelaide Hills suburb of Verdun, and is a few hundred metres to the east of the Yantaringa Tunnel.[2]

It is not known when the station/siding opened, possibly in the late 1800s (probably c1883).[citation needed]

In 1925 the station became a stopping place for rail motors.[3]

The patronage at Yantaringa was low due to its location. The station/siding closed in 1964.[4].
