- Balhannah railway station, South Australia
Balhannah railway station is a railway station on the Adelaide-Melbourne line, but is now in a state of disuse. The station is in the Adelaide Hills town of Balhannah, and is located 45.8km by railway from Adelaide Railway Station.
The station opened in April 1883, originally with three platforms, the main platform of which had a weatherboard signal cabin, ticket office and the resident engineers office, like the one at Ambleside.The island platform had a shelter shed, this smaller platform has been removed but is unclear when, probably c1995.The goods platform and goods shed still remain.The yard layout has been rationalised in recent years, with the removal of the dead end siding at the Melbourne end of the yard, and the conversion of the goods siding to a dead-end siding, now used to stable track machines.
The 100-150 metre long platform has since been fenced off due to safety and vandalism.
