Albury railway station is a heritage-listed
railway station at Railway Place in
Albury,
New South Wales, adjacent to the border with the state of
Victoria, in Australia. The buildings were erected in 1880 and 1881, at a time when increasing wool trade from the
Riverina region was driving expansion of the railway network. The station was the
terminus for the
Main Southern Railway until 1962. The yard was designed to facilitate the interchange of goods and passenger traffic arriving on tracks of different
gauges and remains as an operational railway yard and passenger station. To accommodate the break of gauge, a very long railway platform was built, the covered platform being one of the longest in Australia.
