Opened: Monday, 20 November 1871
Yarraville is a suburban railway station. On the eastern side of the station there was once a goods yard, removed in the 1990s, the site of which remains today. The main brick station building on the up line was built in 1893, the timber building on the down side following later. The brick signal box was rebuilt in 1927 and has been retained after closure, though closed off. The level crossing at Anderson Street has a set of interlocked gates preserved in the open position, that were originally commissioned in 1890. One set of four gates protected the double main line, while another set of two gates protected the siding.
