Inland Rail Begins Euroa Station Upgrade for Freight Access

Inland Rail has launched work at Euroa station in Victoria to enable double-stacked freight trains and improve local access through modern infrastructure and community-focused upgrades. This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Together with contractor John Holland, Inland Rail started by dismantling the Anderson Street bridge. A vehicle underpass will replace it to improve safety and ease of movement for road traffic and pedestrians.

Workers will also relocate the east rail track and construct a new west platform. These upgrades support future freight services between Melbourne and Brisbane while connecting the station to the community.

Inland Rail Drives Infrastructure Overhaul in Euroa

Crews removed over 9,360 cubic meters of soil from the site’s northern section, using much of it in Broadford for three bridge developments. A 450-tonne crane lifted major bridge components.

Construction teams also removed 820 meters of track and 1,235 sleepers from the west side. These materials are stored in Seymour for future use across the network.

To support the next phase, 2.8 kilometers of new rail arrived from Port Augusta. The delivery includes 17 continuous 165-meter rail strings for immediate installation.

Inland Rail Enhances Station Access and Connectivity

The project includes expanded car parks, improved lighting, and upgraded platform access with lifts. Workers are also building new paths, stairs, and ramps for safer pedestrian movement.

A redesigned station forecourt will create an open, welcoming space. These improvements aim to integrate the station more deeply into Euroa’s urban environment.

Inland Rail combines national freight planning with local infrastructure upgrades. The Euroa transformation reflects the company’s broader goal of linking supply chains and communities through modern rail.
