Red Cliffs is a closed railway station in the town of Red Cliffs, on the Mildura line, in Victoria, Australia. It was established as a passenger station in 1920, with a loop siding being provided around this time. In 1922, a railmotor service commenced between Mildura and Red Cliffs, and a railmotor turntable was provided. The service ended in 1928.[1] In April 1924, the Red Cliffs – Werrimull branch line opened, heading west, and was later extended to Meringur and Morkalla.
By 1938, the station had a four-road yard with a goods shed, and private sidings serving a fruit co-op and the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission of Victoria. A new platform and station building were also provided, on the Melbourne side of the previous one.[1]
In 1975, flashing light signals were provided at the Fitzroy Avenue level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station.[2] In 1988, the branch line to Meringur was closed.[3] A number of track alterations took place in 1991,[4] and two years later, the interlocking was abolished, and the station became a plain siding.[1]
In early 1994, the station was leased to the Shire of Mildura for a period of 10 years.[5]
In 2011, VicTrack was given permission to demolish the station building, despite local protests. That was completed in April of that year, with the passenger platform being retained.
