Creighton railway station

Creighton is a closed station located in the township of Creighton, on the North East railway in Victoria, Australia. The station had a single platform on the east side of the broad gauge line, with the standard gauge line running behind. The station opened in 1887 as Synon's Siding, to serve a sawmill of the same name. In 1888 it was renamed Creighton's Creek which was then shortened to Creighton.^[1]

By 1901 the station was only open for firewood traffic, but reopened in 1908 with additional sidings. In 1911 the main line was slewed away from the platform along number 2 road, leaving it on a loop siding.^[1] This remained until 1916 when the station was again rebuilt, a new goods shed and sidings provided, in addition to a new station building and 30 lever signalling frame. The station was closed to all traffic except for truck loads of goods on July 25, 1965 and then removed in 1967.^[1] Today there is nothing left of the station.
