Ben Nevis railway station
Coordinates: 37°11′33″S 143°07′00″E / 37.1926°S 143.1168°E Ben Nevis railway station is an abandoned station on the Avoca railway line, a railway line running from Ararat to Avoca and onto Maryborough in the Australian state of Victoria. It also acted as the terminus of another abandoned railway line to Navarre, a community in the Wimmera region of Victoria, which was closed in 1954.
Little remained of the station in 2013 situated near the intersection of the Pyrenees Highway and the Buangar – Ben Nevis Road, although earthworks associated with it are clearly visible nearby as can the rail lines themselves.
