Yarra Junction railway station

Yarra Junction was a railway station on the Warburton line east of Melbourne, Australia. The station opened with the line in 1901 and operated until the closure of the line in 1965. The building was constructed in 1888 as the Lilydale railway station and was relocated to Yarra Junction in 1914, due to the provision of a new station at Lilydale. The building now houses the Upper Yarra Museum.[1]
