Dennington Station
Dennington was once a passenger station, but in later years remain open for briquette traffic to the adjacent Nestle factory. The station was located north of the Drummond Street level crossing.
The 1929 track chart of the line showed the platform on the north (up) side of the line, with a three road yard, a dead end extension to the Warrnambool end, and a number of sidings leaving into the Nestle factory. By 1978/79 the station had a single rail served fuel depot owned by Shell, but it did now see regular rail traffic.
By closure Dennington had a single loop siding, and a dead end siding headed south into the Nestle factory. The line ended west of the loop siding, in a set of baulks. Beyond here Nestle occupies the land to run piping to a water treatment plant, and then beyond is the trestle over the Merri River.
