Railway station in Melbourne, Australia

Middle Footscray railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Footscray and opened on 10 December 1906.[4]

Quick Facts General information, Location ...

In 1927, the station was reconstructed about 160 metres west of its original location, to allow for the building of the South Kensington – West Footscray goods line.[5]

Two dual gauge goods tracks run north of the station, linking the Port of Melbourne and other freight terminals to the rest of the state. Since 1962, those tracks have formed part of the Melbourne – Sydney standard gauge line and, since 1995, have also formed part of the Melbourne – Adelaide standard gauge line. Two Regional Rail Link tracks run south of the station.[6]
