Drouin railway station is located in Drouin, Victoria along the Gippsland railway line. It opened on 1 March 1878.[1]

History

Drouin opened on 1 March 1878, when the line was extended from Bunyip to Moe. The station, like the township itself, was supposedly named after a Frenchman invented a chlorination process for the extraction of gold and metals from ore,[2] or an Aboriginal word meaning 'north wind'.[3]

In 1950, the line to Warragul was duplicated, and in 1952, duplication of the line to Longwarry occurred.[1] The present island platform was provided in 1958.[1]

The signal box at Drouin closed in February 1988, with the block post abolished, all fixed signals covered and lights extinguished. The interlocked signal frame was also abolished.[4] By October 1989, all former sidings and crossovers, and the associated overhead wire, were abolished, effectively leaving Drouin as a "through" station.[1]

In 2006, the station building underwent a refurbishment.[5] During this time, it received Viclink purple station signage, the first station on the regional rail network to receive this signage.[6]
