History

Belgrave station originally opened on Tuesday, 18th December 1900 as Monbulk. It was renamed to Belgrave in 1904. The station was formally one of the stations on the Upper Ferntree Gully - Gembrook narrow gauge line, one of the narrow gauge lines of the Victorian Railways until 1962 when the line as far as Belgrave was converted to Broad Gauge. The current is located further down the line than the previous narrow gauge station (which originally was in the proximity of the current stabling facilities). Year 1900 (MCM) was an exceptional common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar, but a leap year starting on Saturday of the Julian calendar. ... 1904 (MCMIV) was a leap year starting on a Friday (see link for calendar). ... The former Victorian Railways, the state railway authority in Victoria, Australia built a number of experimental narrow-gauge railway lines around the beginning of the 20th century. ... 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ... Great Western Railway broad gauge steam locomotives awaiting scrapping in 1892 after the conversion to standard gauge. ...

This station is the end of the first (and only) stage of the original plan to convert and electrify the former narrow gauge line from Upper Ferntree Gully as far as Emerald. If one walks through the DOWN exit of the station towards the current Puffing Billy terminus, they could follow the shape and direction of the broad gauge lines into one line where the original narrow gauge line (now No. 3 road of the Puffin Billy Railway sidings) continues to Gembrook. The overhead catenary lines continue beyond the broad gauge station for several metres.
