History edit

Yarraville station opened twelve years after the line from Footscray was extended to Newport.[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the Yarraville real estate development, which was promoted by Biers, Henningham & Co. Land sales began in 1859.[6][7]

In 1892, the present station buildings were provided, replacing timber buildings that had been destroyed by fire in 1890.[8] The station opened to goods traffic in 1883 and, in 1893, a goods shed that had been at South Morang was relocated to Yarraville.[8] In 1912, an extension of the yard was provided at the up end.

By July 1969, the station had been closed to goods traffic,[4] with the goods shed demolished shortly after.[8] In 1970, an overpass replaced a level crossing at nearby Somerville Road[4] and, in 1991, the goods yard was removed.[5] Interlocked crossing gates, controlled from a signal box at the down end of Platform 1, protected the Anderson Street level crossing until 1995, when the gates were fixed in the open position and replaced by boom barriers, leading to the closure of the signal box the next year.[5] In 1997, a pedestrian subway under the line in Anderson Street was filled in and replaced by pedestrian gates.[5]

In October 2022, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Anderson Street level crossing would be closed to vehicular traffic by 2030,[9][10] and would be replaced by a pedestrian subway.[10]
