Red Cliffs is a closed railway station in the town Red Cliffs on the Mildura railway line in Victoria, Australia. Red Cliffs station was established as a passenger station in 1920, a loop siding also being provided at this time. In 1922 a railmotor service commenced between Mildura station and Red Cliffs, with a railmotor turntable provided by this time. The service ended in 1928.[1] In April 1924 the Red Cliffs - Werrimull line was opened headed west, being later extended to Meringur and Morkalla.
By 1938 the station had a 4 road yard with goods shed, and private sidings serving a fruit co-op and the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. A new station building and platform were also provided this year, on a site closer to Melbourne.[1] In 1988 the line from Meringur was closed.[2] In 1993 the interlocking was abolished and the station became a plain siding.[1]
The station was demolished in 2011.
