Riversdale railway station
Riversdale railway station is located on the Alamein line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Camberwell. It was provisionally called Prospect Hill station, but has been Riversdale since it opened on 30 May 1890, along with the first section of the Outer Circle railway. The name derives from the adjacent Riversdale Road.
Some trains terminate at Riversdale after morning and evening peaks and return to Camberwell for stabling.
Though it was closed for a year in 1897 and 1898 when the Outer Circle line closed, it reopened soon after, due to a public outcry. The station also features unusual manually-operated boom gates, with arms that are divided into two sections, so as not to make contact with overhead tram wires.Platforms & services
