Yelta was a small railway station located on the Yelta railway line, in the small township of Yelta, Victoria. It once had a medium-sized platform, which was demolished around 2004.[ citation needed ]

Early on, traffic was not sufficient enough to have a station master present [1] , with sheep gates added to the passenger platform to allow for easier transport of sheep from the north in later years. [2] [3]
