Little River railway station is located on the Port Fairy line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Little River opening on 1 January 1857.〔(Little River ) Vicsig〕〔(Little River Station ) Rail Geelong〕 It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.〔(Little River Railway Station & Goods Yard ) Heritage Victoria〕 The Western standard gauge line passes behind Platform 1. When the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company originally constructed the line, it proposed that Little River station be built on the northern side of the river. However the company had trouble negotiating with the relevant land owner, so the first station was located on the south side of the river. The former platform mound of that station was finally removed in 1994, when the Western standard gauge line was being constructed. The buildings and adjoining goods shed of the current station, on the north side of the river, are some of the earliest station buildings in Victoria. They are constructed of bluestone, to an original design by Frederick Kawerau for the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Co., and were completed by the Victorian Railways in 1864. Features of note include the basement holding cells and the Victorian Railways plaques on the station gables.〔〔(Railway Station & Goods Shed, Little River ) Wyndham History〕 In 2010 the goods shed had started to crumble. Infrastructure owner VicTrack conducted an inspection of the shed which revealed its doors and windows had been forced open, and VicTrack, in liaison with the lessee V/Line, undertook work to ensure the shed was secured as quickly as possible from further damage. On 25 October 1970 the line from Werribee to Little River was duplicated and the goods siding closed. On 4 June 1981 the line to Lara was duplicated and a second platform (Platform 1) provided.〔 The disused Werribee Racecourse station is located between Little River and Werribee, as was the now-demolished Manor station. ==Platforms & services== Little River has two side platforms. It is serviced by V/Line Geelong line services.〔(Geelong - Melbourne timetable ) Public Transport Victoria〕 Platform 1: *Geelong line: V/Line services to Southern Cross Platform 2: *Geelong line: V/Line services to Geelong, South Geelong, Marshall & Waurn Ponds 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「Little River railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
