Binalong railway station and telegraph office

The station building combines stone and brick construction, featuring dual functions as both a railway terminus and communication center.

The original wooden structure from 1876 burned down in 1883, leading to the construction of a more substantial stone and brick replacement.

The station marked the expansion of railway networks in rural New South Wales, connecting local communities through transportation and communication services.

The facility operated from 1876 until 1916, when railway line modifications required the construction of a new station at a different location.

A brake van from the Southern Highlands Express was added to the station grounds in the 1980s as part of preservation efforts.
