Chiltern railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Chiltern, and it opened on 21 November 1873.[1]

In 1978, No. 4 road and the goods platform was abolished.[1]

It was closed as a staff station on 19 June 1987.[2] Former No.2 and No.3 roads were removed by 10 July of the same year.[2]

In 2000, the former crossing loop on the standard gauge line was extended by 670 metres at the Down end.[3]

The original platform was located on the broad gauge line. Between 2008-2011, this line was converted to standard gauge, and another platform was built on the existing 1962 built standard gauge line.

A disused goods shed is located at the station. The goods shed was converted into a community centre in 2011, and on 4 March 2021, ownership was transferred to the Chiltern Model Club.

Disused station Barnawartha is located between Chiltern and Wodonga stations.
