Werribee Racecourse is a disused station located between Werribee and Little River stations in Werribee, south-west Melbourne, Australia. The station was to serve the nearby Werribee Racecourse.[cite web | title = Werribee Racecourse Station | work = Rail Geelong | publisher = Marcus Wong | url = http://www.railgeelong.com/location/werribee-racecourse | format = HTML | accessdate = 2008-01-22 ] ]Werribee Racecourse station was originally to be part of the electrified system when overhead lines were extended to Werribee in the 1980s – the overhead stanchions were built as far as the station along one track but they were never wired,[cite web | title = Werribee Racecourse | work = Victorian Railway Stations | publisher = Ross Thomson | url = http://www.vicrailstations.com/Port_Fairy/Werribee_Racecourse/Werribee_Racecourse.html | format = HTML | accessdate = 2007-09-04 ] because the safeworking system used on the line does not permit the termination and reversal of a train once inside the section, the signals preventing an electric train from returning to Werribee.]The station has been unused since 1995 when the Western standard gauge line was built, making it impossible to access the station without crossing the standard gauge track.
