Old Casino railway station, Heritage railway station in Casino, New South Wales, Australia.
Old Casino railway station is a timber station building of the type 16 pioneer design, completed in 1903 on the Murwillumbah railway line. Its platform was removed around 1990, and the building now houses the Old Casino Station Museum. A tripod crane stood at the site for many years until a storm destroyed it in 2012.
The station opened on 19 October 1903 as Casino railway station, when the Murwillumbah line was extended to Casino. It was renamed Old Casino in 1930 after a new station opened on the North Coast line to Brisbane, and it stayed open as a branch-line stop until closing around 1974. It was later restored and now houses the Old Casino Station Museum.
The station now displays regional railway history and transportation methods from the early 1900s, showing how rail travel shaped the community. Visitors can understand the role this railway played in connecting the region to wider networks.
The site is located on Walker Street and easy to access as a starting point for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Visitors should explore the grounds from different angles to fully appreciate all buildings and the open areas.
