G.M.H. railway station Is a former railway station which spurred off the Gawler Central railway line.
The station was located in Adelaide's Holden car manufacturing factory in the northern suburb of Elizabeth South. The start of the spur was approximately halfway between the Elizabeth South and Nurlutta railway stations. It was closed in 1992, and the station platforms were demolished, but some of the track that leads to the station is still intact. The boom gates since August 2011 have been removed. As of January 20th 2011, the railine itself has now been covered over leaving only bits of the line intact near GMH Holden's and towards the Gawler Central railway line.
Primarily an industrial station, it was only served by trains during shift change times at Holdens. There were two platforms of step-down construction. Most trains ran express between Adelaide and Salisbury before terminating here.
