Werribee railway station

Werribee railway station is located on the Port Fairy line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the western Melbourne suburb of Werribee. It was opened on 25 June 1857, by the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company, as part of the railway line between the two cities. It also currently serves as the terminus of the suburban electrified Werribee line.The Western standard gauge line, which runs between Melbourne and Adelaide, passes to the north of Platform 1.HistoryWerribee station was designed by Frederick Kawerau, in partnership with Edward Snell, the engineer for the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company. In May 1927, the station building was heavily damaged by fire. As part of the rebuilding, a new, low-pitched roof was provided, and the surviving bluestone walls were cement rendered. A stone plaque, embossed with "G.&M.R. 1857", was once on the south gable, but was lost after the fire. It has since been found, built into the wall of the Victorian Railways printing works in Laurens Street, North Melbourne.
