Carlsruhe is a closed station located in the town of Carlsruhe on the Melbourne - Bendigo railway, Victoria, Australia.
History
The station was opened in 1862, and became a junction in 1880 when the first section of the line to Daylesford was opened. The Daylesford line was closed in 1978 and staff withdrawn. The station was one of 35 closed to passenger traffic on October 4, 1981 as part of the "New Deal" timetable for country passengers. The signal box was abolished in 1980 and the station closed in 1982.
Junction
The junction to the Daylesford line was at the Melbourne end of the station, and three platforms were provided (two for the main line, one for the branch) in addition to a dock platform.
