Joel railway station was on the Navarre railway line in Victoria, Australia, 10+1⁄4 miles (16.5 km) from where the line branched off from the Avoca railway line. The station was formally opened in May 1914,[1] with P. Foley as its first stationmaster.[citation needed] It was in what was then known as Joel South. "Joel Joel", or "Joel" as it became known, was named after Joel Pennington, the manager of a local pastoral property.[2]
The station closed with the line in February 1954.[1]
