Mount Victoria railway station
Mount Victoria has always been an important railway centre since its opening in 1868. It was the first platform structure made of material other than timber built after Penrith station. The original station building still remains and was to a design consistent with the time of John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief of the NSW Railways. Further additions were carried out in 1899 to the ladies' toilet and other areas. The parcels office was added in 1911 to the Sydney end of the building.
South Yarra railway station
The station was opened on 22 December 1860, by the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company, as "Gardiner's Creek Road". Initially, it served the Brighton line, on what was called the "Prahran Branch". The station was renamed South Yarra on 1 January 1867. The private railway company, by then the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, was taken over by the Government of Victoria in 1878, its network becoming part of Victorian Railways.
