Services

Oak Park railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Oak Park, and it opened on 13 August 1956.[1]

The railway past the site of Oak Park station opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to Wodonga.[2]

Boom barriers replaced hand-operated gates at the nearby Devon Road level crossing in 1962.[3]

A number of signals at the station were abolished in 1965, in conjunction with the replacement of Double Line Block signalling with three position signalling between Broadmeadows and Essendon stations.[1]

The station was damaged by fire in 1989.[4] In 1994, the station was provided with CCTV.[4]
