Actil railway station was a railway station located on the Finsbury railway line most likely located in the present day suburb of St Clair, South Australia. History Actil station opened in September 1940 when the Finsbury railway line opened from Woodville. The line was initially used to serve the wartime industrial plants at Cheltenham Park and a Government Supply Depot at Finsbury station. Actil and all the other stations along the line except Finsbury were just stopping places with basic wooden step down platforms. Due to the line being for industrial purposes, it never really carried actual passenger train services apart from some trains that were scheduled for the workers. After WW2, traffic on the line dwindled. The station closed in 1970.
