Balyarta railway station was a ground-level stopping place located on the Adelaide to Wolseley line serving the South Australian locality of Balyarta. [1]
Balyarta station was located between Petwood and Callington on the Adelaide to Wolseley line, being marked with a shed. The line opened in stages: on 14 March 1883 from Adelaide to Aldgate, on 28 November 1883 to Nairne, on 1 May 1886 to Bordertown and on 19 January 1887 to Serviceton. [2] It was operated by South Australian Railways and in March 1978 it was transferred to Australian National. A siding was provided, allowing trains to cross each other at this location. The station was still listed as a stopping place in the ANR public timetable in July 1976. A derailment occurred while two goods trains passed each other at Balyarta on 22 June 1977, with the siding being closed afterwards. [3] In 1995, the line was converted to standard gauge. There is no longer any trace of the station.
