Picton Station, NSW

The historic Picton Station is a twin-platformed heritage-listed station that opened on 1 July 1869 and services the main south line. The station is unusually sited with southbound journeys actually heading north out of the station before traversing a horseshoe curve to again head south, and likewise northbound services heading south. Audible from the platform is the squawk of a colony of Grey-Headed Flying Foxes. And just to the north is the heritage-listed sandstone viaduct over Stone Quarry Creek, built between 1863 and 1867. The viaduct is considered the oldest existing stone archway in the state. Built so solidly and with precision, modifications have not been necessary and the beautiful +150 year-old structure stands in original condition today.
