Castlemaine railway station

In 1973, the turntable at the station was abolished. In 1989, signal boxes "A" and "B" were abolished, and replaced with a signal panel within the station office. Mechanical points were also abolished, and all signals were replaced with two and three position signals. Also in that year, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Parker Street level crossing, located nearby in the down direction from the station. On 17 December 2004, the extension of the Victorian Goldfields Railway from Muckleford to Castlemaine was opened. On 17 January 2005, the signal panel was abolished. == Platforms and services ==
