Tongala railway station

Tongala is a closed railway station on the Toolamba–Echuca railway line, in Victoria, Australia, formerly serving the town of Tongala. Although the former passenger platform remains only as a mound, the former goods platform still exists in relatively good condition, with a crane still provided on the platform. A transport mural is located near the station site. A number of tracks and sidings were removed at the station in 1991.[1] A freight service that served the nearby Nestlé factory with briquettes also ceased in July 1991.[2]
