Malmsbury railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Malmsbury, and it opened on 21 October 1862.[2][3]
In 1968, a carriage dock and a number of sidings were removed. Further sidings were removed in 1978.[3]
A large bluestone station building remains on the former northern platform, and a collection of shelter sheds on the southern platform. As part of the Regional Fast Rail project in 2006, the double-track line from Kyneton to Bendigo was converted to single-track, with the track on the Melbourne bound platform removed.[2][4]
Disused stations Taradale and Elphinstone are located between Malmsbury and Castlemaine. Demolished station Chewton was also located between Malmsbury and Castlemaine, while Redesdale Junction was located between Malmsbury and Kyneton.
