Wangaratta railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of the same name, and opened on 28 October 1873.[1]
When Wangaratta opened, it was the temporary terminus of the line from Benalla, before it was extended to Wodonga on 21 November 1873.
A goods shed is located across from the main platform, but has no siding, and the goods shed office was demolished in 1978.[2] Dock platforms were once located at both ends of the station. There are footbridges at both the south end of the platform and over the northern end of the yard.
The main platform and station building is located to the east of the standard gauge "West" line. The original standard gauge line runs in a concrete walled cutting, located between the station and adjoining street, with a number of bridges crossing this cutting to provide station access (this cutting was completed by mid-1960).[3]
