Kilkenny railway station is located on the Grange, Outer Harbor and Port Dock lines.

Kilkenny station was built when the single track Port Adelaide railway was duplicated in 1881.

By the early years of the 20th century, there were two signal cabins at Kilkenny – one at the Adelaide end of the station controlling access to sidings, the other at the Woodville Park end controlling the level crossing across David Terrace.

In 1930, three-aspect colour-light signalling was installed on this section of the Port line in an effort to accommodate the close headways necessary with the heavy traffic of that era.
