Young railway station, Heritage railway station in Young, Australia

Young railway station is a first-class brick terminus building of 1885, set on a rise above the town beside Anderson Park. Its steep gable roofs and symmetrical Gothic-inspired form face a stone platform, and two timber overbridges stand along the line at 440 and 467 kilometres from Sydney Central.

The station opened in March 1885 and served regional rail passenger transport for over a century. Its closure in December 1989 ended a long era of train service through the South West Slopes region.

The railway complex was once the heart of the community and shows how important trains were to small country towns. Visitors can still sense this role through the preserved buildings and structures around the site.

The building now serves as the visitor information centre for Hilltops Council with a wine cellar door and art gallery inside. Visitors can pick up local information and explore the galleries while experiencing the historic spaces firsthand.

In 2020 the Young Railway Interest Group received a grant to restore a disused railway carriage so it can house a working diorama of Young station as it was in 1960, when the railways were at their height. The carriage stands beside the 1885 station building.
