Murchison East railway station

Murchison East railway station is located on the Shepparton railway line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Murchison, and opened on 13 January 1880.

It became a junction station in September 1890 when the line to Rushworth opened, branching off at the southern end of the station. That line was later extended to Colbinabbin and Girgarre. The Rushworth line closed in 1987.

The station has the longest passing loop on the line, 870 metres in length, but in 2013 the loop was booked out of service due to poor track condition. A number of other sidings that serve a grain silo complex are opposite the platform.

The main timber station building had been fenced off and a new passenger shelter constructed alongside. On 4 June 2014, the station building was destroyed by fire.

Flashing lights were provided at the nearby Goulburn Valley Highway level crossing in 1974. Boom barriers have since been added.

The closed Wahring station was located between Murchison East and Nagambie, while the closed Arcadia and Toolamba railway stations were located between Murchison East and Mooroopna.
