Morwell railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Morwell, in Victoria, Australia. Morwell station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 1 June 1877.[1][2]
A disused track exists opposite the single platform, which was used in the past when State Electricity Commission and rail freight trains were more common.
Two branch lines exist at the down end of the station; the Maryvale paper mill branch, and the Energex briquette branch. The former is regularly used for paper trains each weekday, while the latter is not in use. The Energex briquette branch originally opened to traffic in 1951.[1]
