Paskeville railway station was located on the Balaklava-Moonta railway line. It served the town of Paskeville, South Australia.
Paskeville railway station opened in 1878 with the opening of the railway line from Port Wakefield to Kadina. [1] [2] It consisted of a railway yard [3] and a railway siding. [4] It had also had a goods shed but it was burnt down and never rebuilt. [5] A railway line was proposed to run from Paskeville to the town of Maitland but it was never built. [6]
The station closed to regular passenger use in 1968. [7] In 1978, the station and all associated infrastructure was included in the transfer of South Australian Railways to Australian National. The railway line from Balaklava to Paskeville closed on 4 April 1984 but the line from Kadina to Paskeville remained open until 14 March 1990. [8] The railway line and station was completely removed.
As of 2024, the goods crane and the station sign are the only evidence of the station remaining. [9]
