The Ayr Railway Station once stood as a bustling hub of life and transport in the Burdekin. Trains rolled in and out, carrying passengers, goods, and countless stories, many of which remain close to the hearts of local families today.
Though quieter now, the station still holds a special place in our town’s history. It was more than just a stop along the tracks it was where soldiers said goodbye, families reunited, and cane was carted to market.
What are your memories of the Ayr Railway Station? We’d love to hear your stories, whether it was catching your first train, farewelling a loved one, or simply watching the locomotives roll through town.
