Yerong Creek railway station was a railway station on the Main Southern line, serving the town of Yerong Creek in the Riverina, New South Wales, Australia. It served passengers between 1880 and the 1980s.

History

The station opened in 1880 and was closed c.1984. The platform buildings were demolished in the 1980s, and only a low platform remains at the site.

In 2011, a train passed the signal at Yerong Creek without authority, an incident known as a signal passed at danger.

Description

Yerong Creek station consisted of a single side platform with a weatherboard station building and signal box. It was opened with a crossing loop of about 400m length. In 2010, the crossing loop was extended into a 7 km passing loop, with intermediate home signals protecting a level crossing and wheat sidings which have the effect of allowing the passing loop to hold two trains in one direction.
