Callington railway station, South Australia

Callington railway station was located in the Adelaide Hills town of Callington, about 72 kilometres from Adelaide station.

History
Callington station was located between Balyarta and Monarto South on the Adelaide-Wolseley line. The line opened in stages: on 14 March 1883 from Adelaide to Aldgate, on 28 November 1883 to Nairne, on 1 May 1886 to Bordertown and on 19 January 1887 to Serviceton. The station consisted of a ticket office, and a large shelter, similar to the one at Balhannah. A smaller platform and shelter shed were provided. The large shelter and ticket office were later replaced with a smaller building in 1951. A CTC relay building was also built on the platform when the line started using the CTC safeworking system. It was operated by South Australian Railways, and in March 1978 it was transferred to Australian National. Upon closure of the station on 27 November 1982, it became disused. The National Railway Museum removed the station building and sign in 1991 and installed them at the museum in 1994. It now serves as the stop for the museum's 457mm gauge trains. In 1995, the Adelaide-Wolseley line was converted to standard gauge. The station platforms were demolished, and the site of the second platform now serves as a loading/unloading point for ballast trains. The station master's house was converted into accommodation but is now closed. The water tower next to the station master's house also remains at the site.
