Beaufort railway station is located on the Serviceton line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Beaufort, and it opened on 11 August 1874. [2]
Beaufort station opened on 11 August 1874, when the railway line from Ballarat opened. [2] It remained a terminus until 7 April 1875, when the line was extended to Ararat. [2] Like the town itself, the station was named after Sir Francis Beaufort, a hydrographer and rear admiral of the British Royal Navy. [3]
On 14 September 1988, it was disestablished as a staff station, [4] with the signal box, interlocking and signals abolished. The electric staff sections Trawalla - Beaufort and Beaufort - Buangor were also abolished, replaced with the electric staff section Trawalla - Buangor. [5] In May 1989, two loop lines that formed a rail yard were removed. [6]
In October 1993, station staff were withdrawn, with platform seats also removed in that month. [6] On 27 May 1994, the station closed when road coaches replaced services between Ballarat and Ararat. [6]
In 2000, the station building and signal box underwent a restoration, to make it more suitable for community use. [6] By August 2003, upgrades to reopen the station were complete. [6] On 11 July 2004, the station reopened when V/Line passenger services to Ararat resumed. [7]
In October 2014, the former station building was converted into a community arts centre, whilst the former goods shed is currently used as a steam-era museum. [8] [9]
Disused stations Burrumbeet and Trawalla are located between Beaufort and Wendouree, while disused station Buangor is located between Beaufort and Ararat.
Beaufort has one platform. It is serviced by V/Line Ararat line services. [10]
