Hoppers Crossing is served by the Hoppers Crossing railway station, to the south of the suburb, on the Werribee line, where the line is crossed by the Old Geelong Road. In the 19th century, railway workers on the line knew the place as Hopper’s Hill, referring to the steep gradient from Skeleton Creek where goods locomotive drivers often had to split their train into two sections to make the grade. When opened in 1970, the station was on the western side of the Old Geelong Road level crossing on the Port Fairy line, served by only a few diesel-hauled trains each day. In 1983, the station was relocated to the eastern side of the level crossing, in conjunction with electrification of the line. The Regional Rail Link opened in 2015, which provided new track from West Werribee through Tarneit to Deer Park and included a new railway station at Tarneit. This connected the Serviceton and Port Fairy railway lines and redirected Geelong V/Line trains away from the Port Fairy line and Hoppers Crossing.
