Mooroopna railway station is located on the Tocumwal line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Mooroopna, and it opened on 13 January 1880.[2][3]
A siding for the SPC Ardmona fruit factory is located opposite the station, and is served by Pacific National freight services. All other sidings at the station were abolished in 1991.[4]
On 13 January 2018, a suspicious fire destroyed the station building in the early hours of the morning.[5]
As part of the Regional Rail Revival project to upgrade the Shepparton line, the platform was extended to accommodate VLocity trains.[6][7] The project was completed by August 2022, and included new lighting, seating, shelter and CCTV, as well an upgraded car park and upgraded paths leading to the station.[1]
Demolished station Toolamba was located between Mooroopna and Murchison East.
