Carnegie railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Carnegie, and it opened on 2 April 1879 as Rosstown. It was renamed Carnegie on 1 May 1909.[2][3]

The station opened one month after the railway line from Caulfield to Oakleigh opened.[2]

In 1911, a crossover was provided at the Down end of the station.[2] It was abolished in 1966.[2]

Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Koornang Road level crossing, which was located at the Up end of the station, in 1967.[4][2] The signal box was also abolished during this time.[2]

In March 2014, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced a grade separation project to replace the Koornang Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station. This included rebuilding the station above its previous location.[5] The new station opened on 18 June 2018.[6]

Platforms and services[]

Carnegie has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham and Cranbourne line services.[7][8]
