Elphinstone railway station was located on the Bendigo line, serving the Victoria town of the same name. The station opened in October 1862,[1] and was closed to passenger traffic on 4 October 1981, as part of the New Deal timetable for country passengers.[2]
All points and signals, and the interlocked frame, were abolished in 1988.[3] The double line block sections, Kyneton – Elphinstone and Elphinstone – Castlemaine "A" box, were abolished, and replaced with double line block section, Kyneton – Castlemaine "A" box.[3]
The station building is now leased as a private residence.
