The Signal Box's were officially closed on the 6th August 2003, not 2002........ Ross Jackson was the Last Signalman on Duty, not necessarily the last to operate the box's. RJ-3820 (talk) 05:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Albury railway station is a heritage-listed railway station at Railway Place in Albury, New South Wales, adjacent to the border with the state of Victoria, in Australia. The buildings were erected in 1880 and 1881, at a time when increasing wool trade from the Riverina region was driving expansion of the railway network. The station was the terminus for the Main Southern Railway until 1962. The yard was designed to facilitate the interchange of goods and passenger traffic arriving on tracks of different gauges and remains as an operational railway yard and passenger station. To accommodate the break of gauge, a very long railway platform was built, the covered platform being one of the longest in Australia. Photograph credit: David Gubler

Gauges edit
Break-of-gauge is mentioned and one of the lines (NSW) is standard gauge, but the text doesn't state what the other gauge was/is. I gather from other articles that it is broad gauge (5 ft 3 in), but for non-Australian readers it would be useful to confirm that. PhilUK (talk) 19:33, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
