Oak Park railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Oak Park, and opened on 13 August 1956.[2]
The railway past the site of Oak Park station opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to Wodonga.[3]
Boom barriers replaced hand-operated gates at the nearby Devon Road level crossing in 1962.[4]
A number of signals at the station were abolished in 1965, in conjunction with the replacement of double line block signalling with three-position signalling between Broadmeadows and Essendon stations.[2]
The station was damaged by fire in 1989.[5] In 1994, it was provided with CCTV.[5]
