About SideTracked Caches
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found at the SideTracked Website.
Upwey railway station is located on the Belgrave line. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Upwey, and is a crossing loop in the middle of a six-kilometre section of single track between Ferntree Gully and Belgrave.
Upwey station opened on 3 June 1901 and, like the suburb itself, was named after the homestead Upwey, which was named by a local family who purchased the property in 1897. The name itself comes from Upwey in Dorset, England, which is located on the River Wey.
Upwey was originally on the Upper Ferntree Gully – Gembrook narrow-gauge line. On 30 April 1954, the station, along with the rest of the line, was closed to traffic. On 19 February 1962, Upwey reopened, when the line as far as Belgrave was converted to broad gauge and electrified.
On 17 March 1964, the current island platform was provided, when the present day Platform 2 was brought into use.
