North Creswick railway station was a small junction station on the Mildura railway line where the Ballarat to Daylesford railway line branched to the northeast. Nothing remains of the station.[1] It was 176.407 km from the start of the main line.[2]
When the junction opened in 1887, it provided an alternate route to Melbourne, via Daylesford. The station originally had passenger facilities, but as the Daylesford line declined in importance, the passenger and junction facilities gradually declined. The through route on the line was closed from 1952, and the branch line closed completely in 1985. The station is no longer used.[3]
