Location

History

The original station opened north of its current location in 1876 as Oxley's Point. In 1888, the station was renamed Riverton.^[1] A siding was built at the current Chelmer station location in 1881, which was later converted into the current Chelmer railway station in 1889. Riverton was closed that same year.^[2]

The line through Chelmer was duplicated in June 1886. The station was rebuilt in 1959 as part of the quadruplication of the line.^[3]
