Strzelecki railway station was the original terminus of the Strzelecki railway line in Victoria, Australia. It was opened on 29 June 1922, following the completion of the line.
Strzelecki was the only station on the line to be fitted with a 53-foot (16 m) turntable. Gangers' facilities at the station were a headquarters, tool shed and departmental residence. Goods facilities included a goods loading platform, goods shed and cattle and sheep yards. Motorised maintenance trolleys were also kept at the station. [1] : 40–44
The station was closed on 22 November 1930, after a timber trestle bridge on the section of line between Triholm and Strzelecki developed a significant sway every time a train passed over it. Given the lack of traffic on that section of the line, it was deemed uneconomic to rebuild the bridge, and line beyond Triholm station was closed, having been in operation for only eight years.
