Wandong railway station
Wandong railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the town of Wandong.
==History==
The station opened on 11 April 1876 as a siding named Morphett's, the North East railway to Wodonga having opened in 1872.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vicsig.net/infrastructure/location/Wandong )〕 Soon after that, a short platform was provided alongside the road level crossing and named Wandong. In 1896 the crossing gatehouse was converted into station building and signal box, and in 1899 a timber bridge replaced the level crossing. Sidings for timber loading were also provided, and a narrow gauge tramway brought saw timber from nearby sawmills.
A permanent station building was provided in 1900, along with interlocking for the signals and a lever frame. The present road bridge dates to 1961,〔 while all signals were removed in 1978, and the bus shelters on the platforms were provided in 1990. In 1962 the Melbourne-Albury standard gauge line opened, which runs behind Platform 1.
Wandong station was damaged in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, with repairs required to two bridges, 1,200 railway sleepers, and part of the platform. In August 2009 a new footbridge was opened at the southern end of the station. Painted bright blue, the bridge complies with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act, and has been criticised as dominating the surrounding landscape.
