Binalong railway station and telegraph office

Binalong railway station and telegraph office, Railway station and telegraph office in New South Wales, Australia

Binalong railway station and telegraph office is a stone and brick building on the Main Southern line, the older of the town's two closed stations. It replaced the original wooden structure after a fire in 1883 and was decommissioned on 22 December 1915, when the line was deviated for easier gradients. The former station house and telegraph office now serve as a private residence and for agricultural use.

The original wooden structure from 1876 was destroyed by fire in 1883, prompting the construction of a more durable stone and brick building. This facility remained operational until 1916 when railway line modifications required a new station to be built at a different location.

The station's name survives in local use as the old Binalong station, distinguishing it from the later 1916 replacement. Its 1883 rebuilding was celebrated with toasts to the bricklayer George Reynolds, the station master and his wife Mr and Mrs Rae, and the Queen. Since the late 1970s three private owners have each kept an interest in preserving the building's historical character.

The former station and telegraph office is a private residence and working farm, not a museum or public site, so it cannot be visited or explored on foot. It stands beside the Main Southern line in Binalong, New South Wales, and is best seen from the road or from a passing train.

A brake van from the Southern Highlands Express was added to the grounds in the 1980s, now serving as a reminder of the region's railway operations. This restored vehicle illustrates how train services functioned locally and enriches the site's collection.
