Yarraville Train Station Postcard Framed Print from 1890
A1 sized print professionally framed with glass in either Satin Black or Raw Oak
A restored reprint of the Railway Station, Yarraville postcard from 1890. Showing the original gates and platforms which are still around today.
The railway was built in 1859 but the Yarraville portion was only open for goods. The passenger platforms officially opened in 1871. Over the next 15 years, the Yarraville Village naturally developed around the station instead of the planned hub of Ballarat Street.
In July of 1969, the station was closed to goods traffic. In 1991, the disused goods yard was removed. The interlocked crossing gates remained at the Anderson Street level crossing until 1995 when they were replaced by boom barriers and fixed in the open position as seen today.
The Yarraville railway station – originally named South Footscray – was 150 years old on 20th November 2021.
