Location
Moe Location within Victoria

Moe railway station is located on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Moe, and it opened on 1 March 1878. ^[1]

It was formerly the junction station for the narrow gauge Walhalla line and the broad gauge Thorpdale and Yallourn lines. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

In 1955, electrification was extended to the station and Yallourn from Warragul, and the following year, it was extended to Traralgon. ^[1]

A 70 ft. turntable also existed at Moe until 1963, when it was dismantled. ^{[1] [5]} In 1964, siding "B" at the station was abolished. ^[1] In 1966, the electric staff signalling was abolished between Moe and Morwell, and was replaced with Automatic and Track Control. ^[1]

By 1987, the line to Yallourn was closed. ^[1] In 1989, the signal box, interlocking, signals and goods yard was abolished. ^[1]

Construction of the current station building commenced in late 1991, and was completed in 1992, with the former station building demolished shortly after. ^[6]
