History

North Campbellfield (1889-1903; 1928-1956)

North Campbellfield station first opened when the railway from Coburg was extended to Somerton in October 1889., and was built primarily to serve workers at the nearby Ford factory, which occupied the large site to the north of the station.

During 1963–1964, the present station building was constructed. In 1965, flashing light signals were provided at the Barry Road level crossing, located at the up end of the station., and a signal panel was installed.

During 2002–2003, the station was refurbished and, in December 2007, Upfield was upgraded to a premium station. In 2011, an extra stabling siding (Siding "A") was provided.

On 30 June 2019, the Upfield signal panel was abolished, and control was transferred to Metrol.
