Wunghnu railway station

Wunghnu is a closed railway station on the Goulburn Valley line, in the township of Wunghnu, Victoria, Australia. The station opened at the same time as the railway from Shepparton to Numurkah on 1 September 1881, and was closed to freight in March 2003.[1] The loop siding to the grain silos remains, and has been used to stable track machines such as ballast tampers.
