Final train passes through

 The ground level tracks at Noble Park Railway Station have carried their final train.
The last passenger train went through platform two at 12.48am on Tuesday 30 January.
Noble Park’s Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler roads level crossings will be gone by 15 February.
Construction to elevate the rail and Noble Park station is almost complete, including nearly 200 concrete beams and 83 piers.
Focus has now turned to laying steel track and installing overhead wiring on the line.
Buses will replace trains from Tuesday 30 January to Wednesday 14 February between Westall and Dandenong stations on the Cranbourne/Pakenham line.
Acting project manager Zeljko Dobrilovic thanked the community for its co-operation and understanding during the works.
Between 2011 and 2017, 60 near-misses or collisions were reported across the three level crossings, including an incident in 2016 where a train clipped a car at Chandler Road.
