Draper railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line.
Draper is one of the few stations in Adelaide not named after a current suburb.
[2] One, as yet, unsourced report suggests Draper was named after a drapery that used to exist nearby (corner of Strathfield Terrace and Victoria Road).
[citation needed] On 22 August 2024, a 53-year-old man was struck and killed by a northbound train near the station after assaulting staff at a shop and vet on Strathfield Terrace and stealing a packet of sugar.
The line was shut down for hours with trains terminating at Glanville and Alberton.
