Wallan railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Wallan opening on 18 April 1872.〔(Wallan ) Vicsig〕 ==History== The station opened as Wallan Wallan on 18 April 1872, the line having opened a few months earlier as part of the North East railway to Wodonga. The main town on the Hume Highway has since become known as Wallan, while the township beside the railway has become known as Wallan East. The first goods shed was provided in 1873 with a loading platform for timber erected the next year. In 1876 the goods shed was replaced, and the current wooden building on the down platform provided.〔 The first lever frame was provided in 1895, with a separate signal box on the up platform provided in 1916. Wallan was provided with a number of sidings to marshal trains for the Heathcote line opened in 1888, which left the North East line at Heathcote Junction. A small locomotive depot was also provided, along with a long turntable in 1892. The yard was substantially expanded in 1913 for increasing timber traffic on the Heathcote line, including sidings worked by gravity. In 1933 an additional turntable was provided.〔 Between 1961 and 1965 the locomotive servicing facilities were removed,〔 while the late 1980s and early 1990s saw the removal of the remaining sidings. The signal box was removed in 1995, and replaced by a new lever frame in the station building. This frame was built from parts of the Craigieburn frame and is the last new frame to be installed on mainline railways in Victoria. In 1962 the Melbourne-Albury standard gauge line behind Platform 1 opened, with a passing loop provided to the east of Wallan station. This loop was extended by 650 metres in 2000.〔 Demolished station Beveridge was located between Wallan and Donnybrook. 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「Wallan railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
