Kilmore East railway station is located on the Tocumwal line in Victoria, Australia.

[1][2] The town of Kilmore is some distance to the west, at a much higher elevation, and was unable to be served directly by the main-line railway.

[3] Approximately three kilometres (1.9 mi) in the down direction from the station is a siding which is used to load material from the Apex quarry.

Located two miles (3.2 km) east of the existing town, the site was surveyed for a new settlement to be called Gavan Duffy, but that did not eventuate.

[2] In 2008, construction began on a seven-kilometre (4.3 mi) long "passing lane" on the parallel standard gauge line, as part of the Australian Rail Track Corporation's Melbourne-Sydney railway upgrade project.
