V/Line Passenger Trains at Mooroopna - Victorian Transport

In this video we see some trains at Mooroopna, a large town in the Goulburn Valley around 161km north of Melbourne. With a population of 8,312, Mooroopna is only 4km west of the large city of Shepparton on the other side of the Goulburn River, with both Shepparton and Mooroopna often considered to be part of the same urban area. Here at Mooroopna we see some V/Line N Class locomotive hauled trains with both N Set and H Set carriages, including at the train station and other spots around town.
Mooroopna station opened on the 13th January 1880 when the line up towards Shepparton opened. Mooroopna was a busy little station in its heyday, being used to transport produce from the nearby orchards towards Melbourne. Today though it's just a small platform served by V/Line Shepparton Line services. The adjacent siding was used to load freight trains with produce from the adjacent SPC Ardmona processing plant, but that ceased in 2011 shortly after the plant closed. Mooroopna used to have a small historic weatherboard station building but unfortunately it was lost after burning down in a suspicious fire in 2018.
This video was filmed in 2019 - 20. Since filming this video Mooroopna station has undergone an upgrade in preparation for the V/Line Vlocity trains which will begin service on the line by the end of 2022. As part of this the station received a rebuilt platform that has been lengthened and features extra seating, shelters, new fencing, CCTV and a sealed car park.

@@garynewton1263 the Echuca Line goes through Bendigo and the Shepparton Line goes through Seymour. Although to confuse things a little there is the cross-country Toolamba - Echuca Line so you could take run a train to Echuca via Seymour. We'll sort of, the line was only used for freights and hasn't seen a train since 2019.
