Stockwell railway station was located on the Barossa Valley railway line. It served the town of Stockwell.

History

Stockwell railway station opened on 24 September 1917 with the opening of the railway line from Nuriootpa to Truro. The station consisted of a facility comprising a ticket office, platforms, etc. for loading and unloading train passengers and freight. In 1978, the station and all associated infrastructure was included in the transfer of South Australian Railways to Australian National. The station closed to regular passenger use in December 1968 although some special train tours by the Australian Railway Historical Society (ARHS) used the line to Truro until 1979 when Australian National declared the line unsafe. The last ARHS special to use the station was on 20 September 1981 consisting of Rx 207. The line past Stockwell was closed and removed in 1987 but the remaining section continued to be used to store surplus rolling stock until February 1990; the line and station was closed and removed. There is no longer any trace of the station.
