Benalla railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia.
The site of the station was a controversial decision at the time, guided by the 1870 flood of the Broken River to the south that engulfed the town.
It was extended in 1888, with the addition of dining and refreshment room facilities and administrative offices, all topped by a large tower.
A locomotive shed was provided at Benalla early on, located at the down end of the station yard.
Its use declined after the demise of steam locomotives, and several stalls were removed in 1960, to allow the construction of the parallel standard gauge track.
[2] In 1961, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Nunn Street level crossing, located nearby in the up direction of the station.
During that time, the former office and crew rooms of the locomotive depot were also demolished,[8] and the passenger facilities in the main station building were also refurbished.
[1] The former locomotive depot was hit by a severe storm on 22 November 1994, leaving the shed damaged and destroying two Tait carriages stored inside.
[14] In 1998, former New South Wales regional passenger operator CountryLink rebuilt the standard gauge platform.
[15] Qube Logistics constructed an intermodal terminal in the former goods yard in late 2018, to receive containerised cement and fly ash from Sydney, for use in pre-cast panels being manufactured by Boral for the West Gate Tunnel.
