History
[edit]In 1953, the line between Nar Nar Goon and Tynong was duplicated.[1] In 1954, the line to Pakenham was duplicated,[1] electrification of the line between Pakenham and Warragul occurred,[1] and a signal panel was provided.[1][3] In 1958, the present island platform was provided.[1]
In 1993, siding "A" was abolished, as was a crossover and the up end connection to the former goods yard, with No.2 road baulked at the down end of the Koo Wee Rup Road level crossing.[1] In 1996, No.3 road was abolished, and No.2 road was shortened in length.[2] In 1999, all remaining points were removed.[2]
In 1998, electrified services between Pakenham and Warragul ceased, with de-electrification between those stations occurring in 2001.[1]
On 28 April 2006, the signal panel at the station was abolished.[3]
