Rydal Railway Station - built 1869 - see below

Rydal Railway Station is of state significance as an important early railway complex with the extant station building constructed for opening of the line to Rydal in 1869. The building is an excellent example of a small Victorian Gothic style railway building with original fabric and fine detailing typical of the period. The building is complimented by its landscape setting and is an important visual landmark in the small town. The building is also rare as a largely intact railway office/residence, similar only to five other stations in the state, and demonstrates the past custom of providing accommodation for railway staff on-site. Other items at the station including the platforms, signal box and storage shed are significant as they indicate the development of the rail network and how established railway sites adapted to accommodate line duplication and increased traffic.

Rydal was the end of the western line until it was extended to Bathurst. It is a rare example of a combined station/residence Another part is a public library, run by volunteers. The station was staffed until 1984. The line through Rydal is still the main western line to Perth. The XPT comes through daily but you have to book it to stop for you.
