Goroke railway station
Former railway station in Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goroke railway station was a railway station on the Carpolac railway line located in the town of Goroke, Victoria.[1] It was opened in July 1894 when the line from East Natimuk was extended to Goroke. Goroke remained the passenger terminus until 1927 when the line was extended to Carpolac railway station and some passenger services were extended to Mortat.[2] The station had a goods shed and a short passenger platform, there were also a number of Grain Silos located near the station[3][4] as Goroke was a major grain pickup location.[5] Despite the line being extended to Carpolac railway station, most passenger services still terminated at Goroke with some services continuing to Mortat. There was also a passenger and mail train in regular operation between Horsham railway station, Victoria and Goroke between 1937 and 1941.[6]
