Violet Town railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia.

[1] The station opened as the temporary terminus of the line from Longwood, before it was extended to Benalla on 18 August 1873.

[2] In 1909, the goods yard was extended, and a new signal box provided, with the main line slewed to run through the platform, instead of No.

In 1938, the yard was again altered, and the station building was moved to its current position, at the northern end of the platform.

[2] Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Cowslip Street level crossing, located at the Albury (down) end of the station, in 1961.
