Pooraka railway station

Pooraka railway station was located approximately 12.9 km by rail from Adelaide on the now closed Northfield branch line. The station opened in 1913, at the same time the Gepps Cross Abattoirs opened adjacent to the station. Pooraka station was located to the west of Main North Road. The station was closed to passengers in 1987 but some cattle trains still used the nearby stock ramp sidings until the early 1990's. The signal cabin and station shelter were demolished but both platforms are still in place, but heavily overgrown.
