Tooronga railway station is located on the Glen Waverley line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Malvern, and opened on 24 March 1890.[1]
Tooronga station opened on 24 March 1890, when the railway line from Burnley was extended to Eastmalvern.[1] The station is named after nearby Tooronga Road, which in turn was named after an adjacent two-story property. The word Tooronga is Indigenous, meaning "modern" or "new".[2] [3]
In 1955, the current station platforms were provided, when duplication of the line occurred between Kooyong and Gardiner.[1]
In 1966, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Tooronga Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box protecting the level crossing and a goods yard were also abolished during that time.[1]
In 1975, the current station buildings were provided.[4]
