Cressy

Today there is no trace of this station. Once it was a junction for the cross country line from Ballarat to Colac, and had a large yard, a large station with signal box and refreshment room. In September 1989, an old station building struggled to remain standing. For some comparisons in the changes that have occurred at this station, we can refer to a series of images from the Museum Victoria Collection, and a fairly recent photo of the site at Ross Thomson’s Vicrail Stations site. Marcus Wong has a few images in his Cressy Gallery at Rail Geelong. Some detail on the line history, and a recent image can be found at Vicsig.  Below are Davo’s pics from ‘89
