South Morang railway station (former)
South Morang was a steam-era railway station on the Whittlesea line, which operated until the closure of the line beyond Lalor Station in the 1950s, after the electrification of the line to Lalor. Epping Station was then re-opened in the 1960s with the electrification of that section of the line. The remaining section of track from Epping to Whittlesea was then dismantled in the 1970s, with the former right-of-way remaining intact. All that remained of the original station was the platform mound.
A new South Morang station opened on 22 April 2012 as an extension of the Epping railway line in South Morang, Victoria, Australia. This station is considerably closer to Epping than the former station with much of the station arguably in Mill Park or Epping.
