The station serves NSW TrainLink diesel multiple unit trains travelling south to Bomaderry and north to Kiama.

[7] The NSW Government Railways opened its South Coast Line extension, from Bombo to Bomaderry, on 2 June 1893.

Berry Station was built to serve what was at the time the largest town on the alignment, and opened as part of this extension.

1907 plans show the station with the following structures: on the east side of the railway tracks (south to north): Berry Central Butter Factory, engine boiler house, goods shed, and a Fettler's cottage near the level crossing; west side (south to north): cattle yards, Fettler's cottage, levers, platform with horse dock at southern end, platform building, Station Master's residence with a fern house attached to the south-western corner, and a further Fettler's cottage to the west of the level crossing.

[7] The station precinct grew to include the Berry Central Butter Factory, cattle yards, and a number of residences for railway workers.

These plans also show toilet upgrades to the platform building and the demolition of a separate gents toilet building, the former Station Master's residence being leased to the Boy Scouts, and the former Fettler's house to the west of the level crossing also being leased for private rental accommodation.

It is presumably during this period of use as a Scout Hall that most of the internal walls to the front main gable roofed section of the residence were removed.

Since 2001, most northbound trains from Berry have terminated at Kiama, requiring passengers to change to electric multiple unit services to Wollongong and Sydney.

In 2005, then Minister for Transport John Watkins announced that electrification would be extended to the terminus at Bomaderry at an unspecified future date, but the proposal did not progress.

[10] Berry and Bomaderry were the last locations in the NSW metropolitan rail network to use the electric staff signalling system.

[7] The "J2" design is a standard type residence dating from 1885 to 1920, usually of timber or brick with a high gabled roof with rafters extending to form a veranda across the front of the building, and two chimneys.

[7] The residence is located on an unfenced site with a number of large trees, both native and exotic, with the front facade facing west into the Berry Railway Station car park.

[7] The platform building is a long rectangular weatherboard building with a concrete base and a corrugated steel skillion roof sloping towards the rail lines, with the awning supported on cantilevered timber roof beams braced with curved metal braces.

[7] This is a small weatherboard skillion roofed structure, located east of the signal box, with entrances to both platform and car park behind.

It has a solid timber tongue & grooved board sliding doors to the centre of the north and south elevations.

In addition, the site of the Station Master's residence contains a number of large mature trees, both native and exotic.

The interior of the Station Master's residence has been extensively altered (most internal walls removed), however it is externally relatively intact, though in poor condition.

[7] Berry railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The Berry Station Master's residence design has historical association with Henry Deane, Engineer in Chief for Railways Construction 1891–1901.

[7] The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.

Berry Railway Station is of State aesthetic significance as a rare group of simple early weatherboard station buildings with later corrugated steel goods and produce sheds, located in a picturesque location within the historic Berry township, with the Illawarra escarpment visible beyond.

The Berry Station Master's residence is of aesthetic significance as a small vernacular Victorian Georgian style dwelling, purpose-built for accommodation of railway staff.

[7] The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

Berry Railway Station is of research significance for its early moveable items including staff instruments, signals, fog signalman's equipment, and timber indicator board.

[7] The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
