History[edit]
The station opened as Casino railway station on 19 October 1903 with the extension of the Murwillumbah railway line to Casino.[2]
When the North Coast railway line was extended from Kyogle to the Queensland border and then to Brisbane, it did not pass through the existing Casino station, so it was necessary to build a new Casino railway station on the new line. The original railway station was renamed Old Casino in 1930 when the new Casino station opened. The old station remained in operation as a branch line railway station until being closed c. 1974.[2]
It was abandoned for many years, but has since been restored and now houses the Old Casino Station Museum.[3]
The station platform was removed c. 1990. A rare example of a tripod crane survived for many years, but was destroyed in a storm in 2012.[1]
Description[edit]
The timber station building is of a type 16 pioneer design and was completed in 1903.[1]
