History

McKinnon station opened on September 1 1884 as "McKinnon Road", renamed to it's current name "McKinnon" in 1885. [ [http://www.vicsig.net/index.php?page=infrastructure&name=McKinnon VICSIG Infrastructure - McKinnon] ]

The McKinnon Road level crossing was fitted with an unusual set of interlocking boom gates operated by a wheel in the signal box like the more usual interlocking swing gates. These were removed when a 3rd track was added in 1987. [ [http://www.signspotters.hobbiesplus.com.au/railway_crossings_4.htm SignSpotters] ]
