Longwarry railway station is located on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Longwarry, and it opened on 1 July 1881.[1]
The track east of the station to Drouin was duplicated in 1952, but the section between Bunyip and Longwarry remains single track, because the bridge over the Bunyip River has not been duplicated. The line to Warragul was electrified in July 1954, but electrification was removed in December 1998.[1]
On 26 August 1988, the electric staff safeworking system between Longwarry and Bunyip was abolished, and was replaced with automatic three-position signalling.[2] The double line block system between Longwarry and Warragul was also abolished, along with the signal box and all two position signals.[2] At the same time, boom barriers were provided at the Yannathan Road level crossing, replacing hand-operated gates.[2] By October 1989, the connections to the former goods siding was abolished, as was the overhead wire above the siding.[1]
As part of the Regional Rail Revival project, a second platform is to be built at the station, and the line duplicated between Bunyip and Longwarry.[3] The project is due to be completed in late 2022.[3]
