Wallangarra Railway Station
From Engineering Heritage Australia
This station building was built in stages between 1887 and 1920.
It was part of a complex of buildings and goods yards. At the station customs duties were levied, passengers fed, and mail and goods transferred between the colonial railway systems.
The Queensland 1067 mm gauge line is on the west side and the NSW 1435 mm line is on the east.
Though the opening of the Kyogle line reduced its importance, Wallangarra was an extremely busy base and a critical rail junction in World War 2.
