About Westby Station
The Westby railway line was opened on 5 August 1925 as a branch off the Main South line at The Rock to the small community of Westby, a distance of approximately 40 km.
Services came to an abrupt halt in January, 1952, when a bushfire destroyed nearly 4,000 sleepers and a timber waterway.
The last train to Westby ran on 16 January 1952.
Westby Station had a 70m down side platform with a station building, as well as the usual goods siding and loading bank. As this was the end of the line, there was also a turntable, ash pit, water tank and loop siding.
The station building is still standing and located on private property.
Some restoration work has been comleted by the land owner.
You can see the station, at the listed waypoint, clearly from GZ
