Moorabool is a closed railway station on the Geelong–Ballarat railway line, in the locality of Moorabool, Victoria, Australia. Until 1864 it was called Steiglitz Road.[1] The station building was constructed for the Victorian Railways in 1861, by a private contractor, and comprises a single-storey, gable-roofed, bluestone station building, with an attached two-storey residence.
The station was closed to all traffic on 21 December 1976,[2] but is still passed by The Overland and freight trains. The station building was sold in 1977 and currently serves as a private residence.[3] The building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register[4] and the Register of the National Estate. It is located about 1.6 km east of another heritage railway structure, the Moorabool Viaduct.
