History

Euroa was opened with the line in 1873, with the first permanent station building erected in 1878. The platform was initially 300 feet (91 m) long, and was extended to 400 feet (120 m) in length in 1900. A second 300 feet (91 m) long platform once existed at Euroa, located against the goods shed wall, and was in use between 1880 and 1904, to permit the handling of two crossing passenger trains. An iron footbridge linked the two platforms between 1900 and 1904.[2]

The first lever frame for signals was provided in 1885, and was made part of the station building in 1929. The tracks layout was altered in 1931, remaining in this state until the 1970s, and was followed by the rationalised layout seen today. Two pedestrian subways, and the overpass at Anderson Street to the south, were provided as part of the construction of the standard gauge line in 1960.[2]

As part of the North East Rail Revitalisation Project, a second platform was constructed on the 1960s built standard gauge line, in conjunction with the standard gauge conversion of the existing broad gauge track. Works began in December 2008, and were completed in late 2009.[3][4][5]

Former stations Creighton, Longwood, Locksley and Monea were located between Euroa and Avenel, while Balmattum was located between Euroa and Violet Town.
