Kensington railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Kensington opening on 1 November 1860 as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company line to Essendon. The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871 under government ownership.[1][2]
The Platform 1 station building was constructed in 1886, as was the signal box. The gates at the level crossing were replaced by boom barriers in 1966.[2] The signal box is located at the southern end of the station, as well a siding, used for the nearby grain silos.[3]
Special services to Flemington Racecourse and Showgrounds stations run though the station, but do not stop, with signs on the platform advising passengers of the fact.
