Tintinara railway station is located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line in Tintinara, South Australia.[1]
Tintinara 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] The station was rebuilt with a brick station building when CTC was installed on this section of the Adelaide-Wolseley railway line. Facilities at the station included a passenger platform and station building, and a goods platform, crane and shed. The station yard consisted of 3 tracks including a mainline, a passing loop, and a goods siding. In May 1999, the station was closed when The Overland, then operated by Great Southern Rail began operating on a new timetable that skipped multiple stations including Tintinara.[4] The station building is now used as a tourist info centre, and a mural on the front was unveiled in 2018.[5] The Viterra owned grain silos in Tintinara are no longer served by rail and have since been closed.[6] Meanwhile, the nearby goods shed has been repurposed as the Tintinara Community Men's Shed, albeit without the canopy over the track.[7] The goods siding is disused, but the station yard retains 3 tracks to this day.
