Mornington Railway Station

Mornington railway station was located on Railway Grove, Mornington, Victoria, Australia. The first train arrived on 10 September 1889 and the last one departed on 20 May 1981. In 1989 the old station site was sold off by the state government, and a shopping centre built over. On 19 September 2004 a plaque was unveiled adjacent to the site to commemorate 150 years of steam rail in Victoria.

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)
