Holdens railway station is a former railway station on the Grange railway line which is located in the western Adelaide suburb of Woodville. It was located 7.8 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station. Its position was adjacent to the SA Manufacturing Park, which was previously owned by Holden.

History

The station was opened in 1928 along the sidings at Holdens' Woodville factory so that cars could be dispatched by rail to interstate destinations such as Melbourne. This was also to provide commuter transport for workers after the 1920s and 1930s saw significant development of heavy industry in Woodville and the neighbouring areas. It was closed in 1992 and subsequently demolished following the decline of the heavy industry in the region and the consequent loss of commuters.
