Yass Town railway station, Railway museum in Yass Valley, Australia

Yass Town railway station is a former tramway terminus in Yass, New South Wales, now home to the Yass Railway Museum. The 1891–92 precinct includes a type 4 timber roadside station building, a timber shed, a corrugated iron lamp room, and a goods shed, all set at ground level beside a timber platform. A T42 5-ton jib crane and an Avery 4cwt weighing machine stand on site.

The Yass Town branch tramway opened on 20 April 1892, the same day the older station was renamed Yass Junction. The line closed in 1988, and after negotiations involving the Australian Railway Historical Society, the council took over the yard and leased the station to the society. The Yass Railway Museum opened in the former station building on 20 April 1992, the tramway's centenary. The site was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

The station complex demonstrates the evolution of regional transportation infrastructure through its preserved buildings, machinery, and track formations along Dutton Street.

The museum occupies the 1891–1892 station group on Dutton Street, and the track formation along the street is part of the listing. The platform is timber and at ground level, so there is no step up from the yard. Look for the T42 5-ton jib crane and the Avery 4cwt weighing machine at the station.

The platform is timber and at ground level, a direct result of the site's use as a tramway rather than a conventional railway. A T42 five-ton jib crane and an Avery 4cwt weighing machine still stand at the station, and the track formation along Dutton Street is part of the heritage listing.
