Moe railway station is located on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Moe, and it opened on 1 March 1878.[1]

It was formerly the junction station for the narrow gauge Walhalla line and the broad gauge Thorpdale and Yallourn lines.[2][3][4]

In 1955, electrification was extended to the station and Yallourn from Warragul, and the following year, it was extended to Traralgon.[1]

A 70 ft. turntable also existed at Moe until 1963, when it was dismantled.[1][5] In 1964, siding "B" at the station was abolished.[1] In 1966, the electric staff signalling was abolished between Moe and Morwell, and was replaced with Automatic and Track Control.[1]

By 1987, the line to Yallourn was closed.[1] In 1989, the signal box, interlocking, signals and goods yard was abolished.[1]

Construction of the current station building commenced in late 1991, and was completed in 1992, with the former station building demolished shortly after.[6]
