Infrastructure

The platform at Kyabram still exists in a reasonable condition, with a gravel car park. There is also a siding track still present at this location. Flashing lights were provided at the nearby Albion Street level crossing, located towards Toolamba, in 1972.[1] The former toilet block was demolished in August 1986.[2] The down end crossover points were spiked out of use around this time.[2] In May 1988, the goods platform and storage shed were demolished.[3] A number of sidings were abolished in 1991, including No. 3 road and the stock siding.[4]
