Aldgate railway station was located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line in the Adelaide Hills suburb of Aldgate, 34.9 kilometres from Adelaide station. It opened on 14 March 1883. On 23 December 1886, a second platform was added. From 1 May 1910, most services from Adelaide station were extended to terminate at Aldgate. On 1 July 1929, the westbound platform was converted to an island platform. In 1974, the goods siding was replaced by a second crossing loop. It was very similar to Blackwood; the station building and shelter was the same. It was closed to local trains on 23 September 1987, but until 1990 was available for passengers wishing to board the Mount Gambier bound railcar service.〔 At the time of closure, Aldgate had three platforms. Platform 1 was 151 metre long side platform and Platforms 2 and 3, a 149 metre long island platform. The island platform was demolished in the 1990s, but the side platform remains in place, although no longer in use. A crossing loop was provided, but was removed when the line was converted to standard gauge in 1995. The station building is now used as The Hut Community Centre. ==References== *South Australian Railways Working Timetable Book No. 265 30 June 1974 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aldgate railway station, Adelaide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
