History
editMeribah railway station originally opened as the short-lived terminus of the Brown's Well railway line in the Murray Mallee in May 1913.[1] Almost as soon as the line opened to Meribah, it was extended north to the Murray River at Paringa.[2] The town of Meribah was established in 1914 along the then newly opened railway line.[3] The railway through Meribah closed in 1990; there is no longer any trace of the station.[4]
