Moe Railway Station

Moe railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Moe, in Victoria, Australia. Moe station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring an island platform with two faces. It opened on 1 March 1878.

It was formerly the junction station for the narrow gauge Walhalla line and the broad gauge Thorpdale and Yallourn lines.

In 1955, electrification was extended to the station and Yallourn from Warragul, and the following year, it was extended to Traralgon.

A 70 ft. turntable also existed at Moe until 1963, when it was dismantled. In 1964, siding "B" at the station was abolished. In 1966, the electric staff signalling was abolished between Moe and Morwell, and was replaced with Automatic and Track Control.

By 1987, the line to Yallourn was closed. In 1989, the signal box, interlocking, signals and goods yard was abolished.

Construction of the current station building commenced in late 1991, and was completed in 1992, with the former station building demolished shortly after.
