Portland railway station, Victoria

There have been two railway stations in the town of Portland, Victoria, Australia.

History
The original station was north of the town centre, and remained the principal station even after an extension to Pier station, on the waterfront, was opened on 26 May 1883. From 1 March 1897, the original station was renamed Portland North while the 1883 station became plain Portland, until it closed on 6 May 1968. At the same time, the northern site, which had been rebuilt with a modern passenger building, again became the sole station and goods yard. The change was due to alterations to rail facilities as part of the modernisation of the Port of Portland. The last passenger train between Ararat and Portland ran on 12 September 1981, operated by a DRC railcar.

All signals at the closed Portland station were abolished in 1986. The signal panel, which was located at the Portland Harbour Junction, was relocated to the depot building during that time.
