Hilra railway station, Adelaide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilra railway station is a former railway station on the defunct Penfield railway line which is located in the northern Adelaide suburb of Salisbury North. It is located 21.7km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.The station was located parallel to Langford Terrace, adjacent to the freight train line, and inline roughly to Compton Street.
The station was opened in 1941 along with the Penfield line. The station was different from the others as it had up and down stepdown platforms about 61 metres long. The station was unstaffed and had a small shelter.
It is unknown when the station closed, possibly between 1987 and 1989.[citation needed] The station is now long gone, it was probably demolished in 1991, when the line closed. There are several buildings on the old Hilra station site, including a Streets factory.[citation needed]
