Goodwood railway station is the last common railway station of the Noarlunga, Tonsley and Belair lines when travelling away from Adelaide. The Belair line diverges southeast towards Millswood (closed) and Unley Park Stations, while the Noarlunga and Tonsley lines diverge southwest towards Clarence Park. The Glenelg tram line crosses over the railway lines immediately south of Goodwood station.
The station is located on the border of the Adelaide inner-southern suburbs of Goodwood and Forestville, 5.0 km by rail from Adelaide Railway Station.
The station opened on 5 March 1883 with the opening of the Adelaide to Aldgate section of the Adelaide-Melbourne railway line.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
