History

Elmore opened on 19 September 1864, along with the line to Echuca.[2] The station, like the township itself, was named after the Elmore Estate, which was part of the Burnewang pastoral run.[3] The name was possibly inspired by the English town of Elmore, Gloucestershire.[3]

In 1916, a 70 ft. turntable was provided at the station.[2] The siding leading to the turntable was abolished in 1957.[2] In 1976, a siding leading to the dock platform was abolished.[2]

The station was the junction for a short branch line to Cohuna. The line opened on 10 November 1915,[2] and it closed in 1981,[4] with the connection to the line removed by July 1988.[5]

In 2016/2017, the station was recorded as the least used railway station in Victoria, with an average of 2.42 boardings per day.[6]

Disused station Avonmore is located between Elmore and Goornong.
