Yarragon Railway Station
Yarragon is a railway station on the Bairnsdale V/Line rail service in Yarragon, Victoria, Australia. The station is located on the Princes Highway and is 112 km from Southern Cross station. The station is located adjacent to the Princes Highway on the northern side.
A disused goods platform exists behind the down platform. Steam locomotive K162 is on display opposite the UP platform entrance. This locomotive was exchanged for K183 of the same class, when Steamrail Victoria deemed 183 to be in better condition. K183's tender remained, and thus K162 was painted as K183. K183 has since been involved in a tragic crash with a truck.
Trains to and from Melbourne routinely stop at Yarragon.

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)
