Traralgon railway station
Traralgon railway station is located on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the city of Traralgon, and it opened on 1 June 1877. The station serves as the terminus for V/Line's Traralgon line services. It was formerly the junction of the cross country branch line to Maffra and Stratford (closed between 1987-1995), and has historically been the Gippsland region's principal operational location. Electrification of the Gippsland line to Traralgon was completed between 1954-1956, to support freight traffic in the Latrobe Valley. Freight traffic declined as demand decreased, and Traralgon station  was eventually de-electrified on 2 July 1987. In 1990, the signal box and auxiliary frame at the station were abolished, as well as the Up end connections to the former locomotive depot sidings, and the former dock platform to Maffra. On 16 June 1995, the current station building and platform opened, as part of a commercial development on the site. This station is located on the opposite side of the railway line to the former station. The former station building still exists, and is under private ownership. The area still retains a turntable and engine shed, with the latter  listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Traralgon is now only used for passenger services, with freight operations ceasing in 1994. In early 2019, Rail Projects Victoria announced a second platform will be built at the station. The project will also involve upgrading the existing pedestrian overpass. Platforms and services. Traralgon has one platform.
