Albion railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Albion opening on 5 January 1860 as Albion & Darlington being renamed Albion on 24 March 1891.[1]
The Melbourne - Sydney standard gauge line passes to the north of the station and along with the Albion - Jacana freight line branches off west of the station.
History
The Melbourne & Murray River Railway (now the Bendigo line) opened in 1859 running from Footscray to Sunbury, by the early 1860s the line had been extended to Bendigo. A station named Albion & Darlington was built on the site of the current Albion station, opening on 5 January 1860. Albion & Darlington only remained open for a single year. In 1891 a new station named Albion opened to the west of the previous station. In 1919 Albion station was relocated to the current site.[1]
The old Ballarat Road level crossing was grade separated in 1961 resulting in the bridge going over the railway line just west of Albion station.[2]
The station had a signal box for the control of the junction with the Albion - Jacana freight line until 1961 when it was replaced by a signal panel, which was then moved to the Sunshine signal box in 1965.[2]
