Please be patient, they have a lot of detail. (Page 2 of 2)

Now HOW would we have guessed that John's the one wearing the really great tie!

Wallangarra Railway Station

The town was created to service a break-of-gauge between Queensland's narrow gauge of 1067 mm (3'6") and New South Wales's standard gauge of 1435 mm (4' 8½") when the two systems came together in 1887. The railway was the only rail link between Queensland and New South Wales until a standard gauge track was completed in 1932, with the completion the of bridge at Grafton.

From that time on, the Wallangarra station lessened in importance. All rail services stopped in 1997. In 2003, after major refurbishment, the station was reopened as a museum.

The railway line from Stanthorpe to Wallangarra has continued to be maintained and steam trains taking tourists to Wallangarra occasionally operate.
