Rosanna railway station is a commuter railway station on the Hurstbridge line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Rosanna, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Rosanna station is an elevated unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 October 1927, with the current station provided in 2018.{{cite web|url=http://www.vicsig.net/infrastructure/location/Rosanna|title=Rosanna|website=vicsig.net|access-date=1 February 2023|archive-date=14 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230514110236/https://vicsig.net/infrastructure/location/Rosanna|url-status=live}}

History

Rosanna station, like the suburb itself, was named after Elizabeth Anna Rose, the wife of James Watson, who purchased land in the area in 1838 when the then Warringal village was divided in nine portions of varying sizes.{{cite web|url=https://www.victorianplaces.com.au/rosanna|title=Rosanna|publisher=Victorian Places|accessdate=1 February 2023|archive-date=18 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318050420/https://victorianplaces.com.au/rosanna|url-status=live}}{{cite web|first=Jamie|last=First|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/the-az-story-of-melbournes-suburbs/news-story/6f7611b7df20e55ad02f5e9615885e21|title=The A-Z story of Melbourne's suburbs|publisher=Herald Sun|date=7 January 2014|accessdate=1 February 2023|archive-date=26 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221226135637/https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/the-az-story-of-melbournes-suburbs/news-story/6f7611b7df20e55ad02f5e9615885e21|url-status=live}} Watson later named his land Rosa Anna Farm.

In 1958, in conjunction with the duplication of the line between Rosanna Junction (which was at the up end of the station) and Macleod, flashing light signals replaced wigwags at the former Lower Plenty Road level crossing, which was at the down end of the station. In 1972, boom barriers were provided.{{cite web|url=http://vicsig.net/index.php?page=infrastructure&pcr=S0158|title=S0158: Lower Plenty Road|website=vicsig.net|access-date=31 March 2023|archive-date=23 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230523174525/https://vicsig.net/index.php?page=infrastructure&pcr=S0158|url-status=live}} Three years later, in 1975, new station buildings were provided.{{cite book|first=Vincent Adams |last=Winter |title=VR and VicRail: 1962–1983 |year=1990 |isbn=0-9592069-3-0|page=106}}

On 6 October 2017, the former ground-level station closed, as part of the removal of the Lower Plenty Road level crossing and the duplication of the Hurstbridge line between Rosanna and Heidelberg. On 4 May 2018, the new elevated station opened.{{Cite web |url=https://levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/projects/lower-plenty-road-rosanna |title=Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna |access-date=24 September 2021 |archive-date=27 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627091114/https://levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/projects/lower-plenty-road-rosanna |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/projects/hurstbridge-rail-line-upgrade |title=Hurstbridge Line Upgrade Stage 1 |access-date=24 September 2021 |archive-date=24 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224211803/https://levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/projects/hurstbridge-rail-line-upgrade |url-status=live }}
