Yarraman railway station
Yarraman railway station is a minor commuter railway station on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines of the metropolitan railway network in Victoria, Australia, located about 27 km (17 mi) from the Melbourne CBD. It serves neighbourhoods between the south-eastern Melbourne suburbs of Noble Park and Dandenong, and is named after the nearby Yarraman Creek, a first-order tributary of the lower Dandenong Creek/Patterson River system. The EastLink toll road is located near the down (south-eastern) end of the station, crossing the line via an overpass. The EastLink Trail, which follows the tollway, uses the entrance footbridge of the station to traverse the railway. The station was opened on 21 December, 1976. To allow its construction, the existing up track was slewed in 1974. At that time, an alternative name for the station, "Fotheringham", was suggested, to recognise a notable local family.In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced the grade separation of the nearby Chandler Road level crossing. Construction began in 2016, with the level crossing removed and a railway overpass built over the road by 2018. Unlike many stations between Noble Park and Caulfield, that were elevated on viaducts as part of the level crossing removal project, the tracks between Dandenong and Noble Park largely remained at ground level. Yarraman station was not rebuilt because it is over 500 metres away from the Chandler Road viaduct.
