Longwarry railway station is located on the Orbost line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Longwarry, and opened on 1 July 1881.[1]
The track up to the east of the station was duplicated in 1952, but the section between Bunyip and Longwarry remains single track, due to the bridge over the Bunyip River. The line was electrified in July 1954, before being removed in December 1998.[1]
On 26 August 1988, the electric staff system between Longwarry and Bunyip was abolished, and was replaced with automatic three position signalling.[2] The double line block system between Longwarry and Warragul was also abolished, along with the signal box and all two position signals.[2] Boom barriers were also provided at the Yannathan Road level crossing, replacing hand gates.[2]
