The level crossing where two women were crushed when their car was hit by an express train had been considered a high priority for removal by Victoria's road authority.
Lines have reopened as investigations continue into how the two women in their 70s were killed when their car was crushed by a Melbourne train and pushed 100 metres into a station platform.
The fatal collision - which occurred just before 4pm on Wednesday - closed the Belgrave line and Union Road level crossing in Surrey Hills until late into the night.
A VicRoads report in 2014 listed the Union Road level crossing among 22 that should be removed as a "high priority".
But despite the road authority's analysis, the crossing isn't on the state government's list of 50 level crossings to be scrapped.
