Goulburn railway station is located on the Main South line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the city of Goulburn opening on 19 May 1869.〔(Goulburn Station ) NSWrail.net〕 ==History==
The foundation stone for the main station building was laid by the Mayor of Goulburn, William Davies, on 12 May 1868.〔(Laying the foundation stone of the Goulburn railway station ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 14 May 1868〕 At the time, the explorer William Hovell lived immediately opposite the main station building on Sloane Street. The land on which the station buildings are sited was originally designated for public parkland.〔 The station buildings were opened in 1869 with arrival of the railway from Sydney, which was opened by the Governor Lord Belmore (an event commemorated by Belmore Park in the centre of the city), along with the completion of the line from Sydney to Albury in 1881 (and the connection with Victorian Railways in 1883), was a boom to the town. Later branchlines were constructed to Cooma (opened in 1889) and later extended further to Bombala, and to Crookwell and Taralga. Goulburn became a major railway centre with a roundhouse and engine servicing facilities and a factory which made pre-fabricated concrete components for signal boxes and station buildings. A large railway refreshment room opened on the island platform in 1915, closing in 1986 with the withdrawal of the ''Cooma Mail''.〔"The Railway Refreshment Rooms of New South Wales 1855-1995" ''Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin'' issue 790 August 2003〕 A disused bay platform is located at the southern end of platform 1. From April 1962 until March 1975 the ''Spirit of Progress'' conveyed a through car between Melbourne and Canberra, three days per week in each direction. The through carriage was detached at Goulburn and conveyed to Canberra attached to a mixed train. Until the early 1990s, Goulburn was also the terminating point for the ''Goulburn Day Train'' and ''Southern Highlands Express'' from Sydney.
