MOREHOUSE
Named after Bill Morehouse
Morehouse is the second-largest intermediate station on the Stonnington Valley Railway, with two full-length mainline platforms, a railmotor platform, a large goods yard serving several industries, an intermodal yard, and a dock used for the unloading of grain trains from Ebinger, Graeme Siding and formerly St. John.
The station has one mainline junction on either-side, with a junction leading to Stonnington on the down end, and a junction for the tunnel to the Power Station and Kens Crossing on the up end. The line to Kens Crossing also acts as a reversing loop, with trains entering the tunnel in the up direction at Morehouse and emerging in Kens Crossing facing in the down direction. In timetable sessions this tunnel is generally not used as a through-connection, with arriving coal trains from Marsden Mine being stabled in the tunnel for unloading at the Power Station.
