Tynong railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, which is part of the Regional railway network. It serves the town of Tynong, in Victoria, Australia. Tynong station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 12 February 1880.[1]
History
In 1953, the line from Nar Nar Goon was duplicated, with electrification between Pakenham and Warragul occurring in 1954.[1] In 1956, the line to Bunyip was duplicated,[1] and in 1957, the present island platform was provided, when duplication of the line was provided through the station.[1]
Rail sidings were once provided at Tynong, however they were withdrawn in 1978/1979.[2] On 1 October 1979, freight services to and from the station were withdrawn.[3] A further siding was removed in 1982.[1]
In 1998, electrified services between Pakenham and Warragul ceased, with de-electrification between those stations occurring in 2001.[1]
