History
The original station was on the waterfront, and was closed on 6 May 1968. A new Portland station and goods yard, located at the former Portland North station site, about 1600 m further inland, commenced operations on the same day.[1]: 110–115 The change was due to alterations to the local rail facilities as part of the modernisation of the Port of Portland.[1]: 197–168
The last passenger train between Ararat and Portland ran on 12 September 1981, operated by a DRC railcar.[2]
All signals at the closed station were abolished in 1986.[3] The signal panel, which was located at the Portland Harbour Junction, was relocated to the depot building during that time.[4]
