Beechworth railway station


Beechworth railway station is a closed station on the closed Yackandandah line, located in Beechworth, Victoria.
The station was constructed in 1876 as the terminus of a branch line from the North East railway line at Bowser. Its location within the town was the subject of a minor local controversy, which the Ovens and Murray Advertiser described as a "storm in a teapot" when a site closer to the town centre was eventually selected. The station and line were officially opened on 29 September 1876 by Governor of Victoria George Bowen; parliamentarians George Kerferd and Robert Anderson; and president of the Shire of Beechworth H. Horrocks.
Although the tracks to Beechworth have been removed, the station building, platform and goods shed all remain in a good condition. The station building is used as a youth centre while the rail trail runs through the middle of the station grounds.
