Albury railway station, New South Wales
- Albury railway station, New South Wales
Albury railway station is the station serving the New South Wales border town of Albury. Albury is on the main Sydney-Melbourne railway line, which reached the town in 1881. The broad gauge line from Melbourne reached the town in 1883. The station is 642.40 km from Central railway station in Sydney.
Originally New South Wales and Victoria had different railway gauges, which meant that all travellers in either direction had to change trains at Albury. To accommodate this, a very long railway platform was needed; the covered platform is one of the longest in Australia. In 1962, the standard gauge line was extended to Melbourne's Spencer Street Station (now Southern Cross), and all freight and interstate passenger services use the long standard gauge platform. Broad gauge trains from Melbourne continue to use the back (dock) platform.
