Eurobin railway station

[1] A new shelter and toilet buildings have been constructed on the site of the former station in the shape of a steam train, as part of the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail.

Timber was dispatched weekly from Eurobin station, and horse feed, goods, and parcels were regularly delivered to the area.

After much discussion, the community reached a unanimous decision to oppose the closure, arguing that both past and current traffic levels warranted keeping the station open.

The final scheduled passenger service beyond Myrtleford departed from Bright on 6 April 1978, with only four local residents, including Wal and Thelma Larsen, in attendance.

This marked a stark contrast to the line’s grand opening in 1890, when thousands gathered at the station to witness the arrival of the railway.
