History


The railway through Craigieburn opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to Wodonga. When the station opened, there was a small timber station building, replaced by a larger building in 1878, having the same design as other small stations on the line. The station opened to goods traffic in 1874. In 1920, a larger timber station building was constructed on Platform 1.[3]

The station originally had a passing loop, which was used regularly to cross trains until the line was duplicated in 1886. A lever frame was provided on the down platform in 1899, which was moved to the new station building in 1922.[4] A number of goods sidings were provided at the station, with the last one removed in 1982. The old Hume Highway road overpass was opened in 1961, replacing a level crossing, as part of the construction of the North East standard gauge project. In 1975, the former sheep and cattle races at the station were abolished.[5] In 1988, the signal box was closed, all signals were removed, and the station was abolished as a block post.[3][4][6]

The station was rebuilt in 2007 as a Premium Station, as part of the extension of the electrified line from Broadmeadows,[7] with a signal box, stabling sidings and a crossover between lines also provided.[8] Former train operator Connex began electrified train services to the station on 30 September 2007.[7]

In April 2009, the building on Platform 1 was demolished, and rebuilt to a similar design to the one on Platform 2. The track on Platform 1 was also electrified, and additional crossovers were provided at the up and down ends of the station, to allow down trains to diverge to the up line.[2]


Train maintenance facility


On 9 April 2012, a large new train maintenance facility was officially opened by the former Minister for Public Transport, Terry Mulder.[9] It is located to the north of the station.[10]
