Port Dock railway station

Port Dock railway station is the terminus of the Port Dock line, located on Baker Street, Port Adelaide. The first station was located in the commercial centre at the corner of St Vincent Street and Lipson Street and opened in 1856. The station was quite an impressive structure, with a large curved roof over the platforms. After closure in 1981, the passenger station site was redeveloped as the Port Adelaide Police Station and Magistrates' Court. Several proposals had been advanced to build a new station, including a budgeted project by the government of South Australia in 2017, but were put on hold by the incoming Marshall government in 2019. Having made construction of the new line an election commitment in 2022, the incoming government announced funding for the railway line in December 2022. It was to be built at the end of a 1.0 km section of Baker Street near the original site. The new station was due to be opened in August 2024, but was delayed by the state government until after the election. The National Railway Museum opened on its site in December 1988. It is located on the site of the former End Mile Railway Museum.
