Old Grange railway station is a railway station located in the western Adelaide suburb of Grange. The platform is located on the western side of Military Road, and was disconnected from the railway line in 1986. It was located 13.2km from Adelaide Railway Station before the track was dismantled.
[edit] History
The station opened in September 1882 when a private company operated the line. The station was the end of the line when it opened. When South Australian Railways took over the line in the 1890's, they extended the line to Henley Beach. On August 31, 1957, the line was cut back to the Old Grange station. The station closed in 1986 to prevent traffic on Military Road from being interrupted by the arrival of trains. The ticket office and shelter was demolished shortly after but the unused platform remains in place.
