Inland Rail’s transformation of the Euroa railway precinct is underway
Inland Rail has commenced the transformation of the Euroa station precinct to allow for the future passage of double-stacked freight trains between Melbourne and Brisbane.
June 4, 2025
Together with construction partner John Holland, Inland Rail is opening the station to the township by relocating the east track, building a new west platform, and replacing the adjacent Anderson Street bridge with a vehicle underpass.
The bridge, which previously provided access to the station, has been demolished and work will begin on improved station access through new car parks, improved pedestrian connectivity, and construction of the underpass.
At Euroa, Inland Rail is:
- relocating the east track to form a new west track
- creating a new west platform
- building and upgrading car parks
- improving platform access with new lifts, and
- enhancing pedestrian connections across the rail corridor and the station with a new open station forecourt, pathways, ramps, and stairs.
Scott Anderson, Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 Project Director said:
“The community would have noticed major construction is underway in Euroa, and the rail precinct has changed significantly.
“We’ve already demolished the old Anderson Street bridge, deploying a 450-tonne crane to lift out some of the sections.
“We’ve removed 9,360 cubic metres of soil from the northern side of the bridge, with much of it transported to Broadford for use on our three bridge projects down there.
“More than 820 metres of the existing west rail track and 1,235 sleepers were removed and stored in Seymour.
“A delivery of 2.8 kilometres — seventeen 165-metre strings — of rail was also delivered from Port Augusta to be stored until we’re ready to reinstate the track.”
