Coonalpyn railway station is located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line in Coonalpyn, South Australia.[1]
Coonalpyn station opened on 1 May 1886 as a station on the Nairne-Bordertown extension of what became the Adelaide-Wolseley line.[2] The line opened in stages: on 14 March 1883 from Adelaide to Aldgate, on 28 November 1883 to Nairne, on 1 May 1886 to Bordertown and on 19 January 1887 to Serviceton.[3] A goods platform was requested by the residents of the town in 1903, and was later built.[4] A 5-ton crane was installed on the goods platform in 1951.[5] The station was rebuilt with a brick station building when CTC was installed on this section of the Adelaide-Wolseley railway line. In May 1999, the station closed when The Overland, then operated by Great Southern Rail began operating on a new timetable that skipped multiple stations including Coonalpyn.[6] The station building was demolished in July 2007.[7] The Viterra owned grain silos in Coonalpyn are no longer served by rail, but are still used by trucks.[8] In March 2017, the silos were painted and became South Australia's first silo art.[9]
