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)
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
