History
The current location of Grange railway station, on the eastern side of Military Road, dates from 9 March 1986. Previously the station was located on the western side of Military Road. The station was moved to prevent traffic flow along Military Road from being interrupted by the arrival of trains. This platform still remains intact. The first platform of the three platforms (1882) was to the north east of the current platform in Terminus Street. There are no visible remains.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
