Mooroopna railway station is located on the Tocumwal line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Mooroopna, and it opened on 13 January 1880.[1][2]
A siding for the SPC Ardmona fruit factory is located opposite the station, and is served by Pacific National freight services. All sidings at the station, with the exception of the siding serving SPC Ardmona, were abolished in 1991.[3]
On 13 January 2018, a suspicious fire destroyed the station building in the early hours of the morning.[4]
As part of the Regional Rail Revival project to upgrade the Shepparton line, the platform is expected to be extended to accommodate VLocity trains.[5][6] The project is expected to be completed in late 2022.[5][6]
Demolished station Toolamba was located between Mooroopna and Murchison East.
