In this video we visit the Station Street level crossing, situated adjacent to Officer Station on the Pakenham Line in Melbourne's outer south east. Here we see some Metro High Capacity Metro Trains passing the level crossing on its last day of operation.
In a bid to make the Pakenham Line level crossing free the Station Street level crossing was closed permanently on the 17th May 2024 with no replacement. The date coinciding with a shutdown of the Pakenham Line to remove three level crossings in Pakenham and extend the line 2km to a new terminus at East Pakenham.
Pedestrians will now have to utilise the existing pedestrian crossing at Officer station, while motorists will have the option of using the nearby Siding Road underpass which opened in 2014.
Of note Station Street Officer was one of the last level crossings in Melbourne to feature a set of Westinghouse mechanical Hybrid Bells. These along with the low vehiclar and pedestrian traffic made this level crossing one of my favourites in Melbourne. However in January 2023 the hybrid bells were swapped out for General Signals E-Bells.
