Geelong Racecourse railway station

Geelong Racecourse is a disused railway station on the Geelong-Warrnambool railway line in Breakwater, Victoria, Australia. The station was situated on a loop siding off the main line and was only used for special events at the nearby Geelong Racecourse.In 1910 the Geelong Racing Club, the Geelong Agricultural Society and the Hibernian Society together paid the Victorian Railways £1000 to have the station built. It was first used for the race meeting held on Wednesday 14 December of that year. The new station replaced one on the Queenscliff railway line which was further from the racecourse.The last V/Line service to stop there was for the 2005 Geelong Cup. In 2005 the points from the main line were spiked, preventing trains from accessing the platform. In February 2011 the loop siding was disconnected from the main line in conjunction with the re-sleepering of the main line.
