Binalong railway station and telegraph office
By Seeker
The Binalong railway station and telegraph office, located in New South Wales, Australia, is a historic site that opened in 1876 as the terminus of the Bowning-Binalong section of the Main Southern railway line. After a fire destroyed the original wooden structure in 1883, a new stone and brick building was constructed, which served until the station's decommissioning in 1915 due to railway line deviations. The site is notable for its historical significance, including a tragic train collision in 1915 that resulted in one fatality and several injuries. Today, the building remains as a private residence, with efforts made by various owners to preserve its historical character, making it an interesting stop for tourists and researchers alike.
