Macaulay railway station
Macaulay railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the inner northern Melbourne suburb of North Melbourne, and it opened on 1 December 1887 as Macaulay Road. It was renamed Macaulay on 1 May 1909. The station is located beside the Moonee Ponds Creek to its west, and surrounded mainly by factories and warehouses. Kensington station, on the Craigieburn line, is only west of Macaulay, and is significantly closer to the residential area, and handles a larger number of commuters. The station is located at ground level, beneath the CityLink tollway, which  is supported atop concrete columns, located outside the platform fencing. To the east of the station were a number of goods sidings, which opened after 1919, and have since been removed. In 1972, automatic signalling was provided between Macaulay and Royal Park stations, replacing Double Line Block signalling. In the same year, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Macaulay Road level crossing, located at the Up end of the station, as well as the abolishment of the signal box. On 1 July 1975, parcel facilities at the station were abolished. In 1976, new station buildings were provided. The suburban  train stabling yard near the station, located towards North Melbourne, opened in May 1972, as part of the City Loop project. A light repair facility was officially opened on 17 November 1993, as part of the closure of the Jolimont Workshops. Platforms and services. Macaulay has two side platforms.
