The Station

Tenterfield Railway Station and yard is managed by Tenterfield Railway Preservation Society. It is among the most complete station precincts in terms of composition of railway buildings and small objects typical of an important regional style railway station.

Listed as one of only 6 Rail Heritage Precincts in NSW, the railway station is an excellent example of Victorian Gothic architecture and was built in 1886 as the terminal station of the Great Northern Railway.

Although no longer served by trains the building remains as one of the town's finest heritage structures. Internally the building retains its features as they existed on the last day of train operations in the 1980s.
