Tarranurk is about here, about 30km north of Dimboola if anybody was wondering

I wasn't wondering. But, this line full of places I'd never heard of got me wondering.

The train line is clearly still in use - the area is full of wheat farms and there are grain silos where this train station used to be. I have to guess that's the reason the line ever took passengers. There aren't enough people up this corridor to ever have supported a passenger service.
