Binalong railway station and telegraph office
The Binalong railway station and telegraph office was the first of two closed railway stations in Binalong on the Main Southern railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in Binalong in 1875. Following a fire to the original wooden structure in 1883, a new stone and brick building was constructed. This was in use as a train station until 1916 when the line was moved to accommodate a second line. The station house and telegraph office remain today as a building of important historical significance in the town.
==History==
The southern railway or as it was known at the time 'the great southern railway' was extended from Yass to Cootamundra from 1876 to 1877. The well known Amos Brothers had the contract for the extension works. The first train arrived in Binalong on Wednesday 2 November 1876 after the 14 mile stretch of track from Bowning was opened. The two engine train was carrying 20 carriages when it stopped at the contractor's camp just outside of Bowning. Here Alexander Amos and his employees joined various dignitaries in a luncheon to celebrate this portion of track's completion. The train then moved on to Binalong where despite the importance of the event there was little recognition by the Binalong townsfolk. The day before, John Whitton, Engineer-in-Charge for the New South Wales Railways, inspected the track and was reportedly extremely pleased at the excellence of the work that was 'unsurpassed, if even equalled, by any other portion of the existing railways'.
