Terang railway station is a regional railway station on the Warrnambool line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Terang, in Victoria, Australia. Terang station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 23 April 1887.[1] [2]
Terang opened as the terminus of the line from Camperdown. On 4 February 1890, the line was extended to Warrnambool.[1] [2] During the first year of operation, the station sold 11,510 tickets to Camperdown, for a total revenue of £11,157.[3] At the peak of operations, the station had a four road yard. Today, it has a single dead end siding.[2]
The station was once the junction for the Mortlake line. It opened in 1890, and closed on 1 August 1978.[4]
The building itself consists of a single level. Notable features include round arched windows, tall octagonal chimney stacks, cream brick dressings and a gambrel roof to the porch.[5] The station represents an intact example of a station building design stemming from the Victorian Government Railway Construction Act 1884. As a result, the station is heritage listed and holds a historical significance to south-west Victoria.[6]
A number of track alterations took place at the station in 1982, including the removal of No. 4 road, the dock road and a dead end extension of No. 2 road.[1]
In 2007, points at the down end of the station were abolished, and was replaced with a straight section of track. This effectively left Terang straight-railed.[7]
As part of the Regional Rail Revival project, a passing lane is to be constructed at Boorcan, located between Terang and Camperdown stations,[8] to allow an increase of passenger services on the line.[8] The project is due to be completed in mid-2022.[8]
Terang has one platform. It is serviced by V/Line Warrnambool line services.[9]
