History
Opened 16 February 1880
Closed 3 July 1978

Tylden railway station, a former station on the Daylesford railway line in Victoria, Australia, was located about 2.4 km to the east of Tylden township, near Central Road.[1] The station opened at the same time as the Carlsruhe to Trentham section of the line on 16 February 1880,[2] and closing on or before 3 July 1978 when the line was closed.

The tracks have been dismantled and the station building has been removed or demolished, but a single platform embankment remains.

By 1969, the platform was 46m in length, and by 1975, the station was working under no-one-in-charge conditions.[3]

The station was 90.9 km from Spencer Street Station (Southern Cross railway station), via Carlsruhe.[1]
