History


The station buildings were constructed by contractors Pooley and Harris, with the railway line constructed by A. Johnston and Co.[3]

Michelago railway station opened on 8 December 1887.[4] It officially closed on 8 February 1976.[5]

The Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT Division) operated the Michelago Tourist Railway from Queanbeyan to Michelago from 1993; however, the deteriorating state of the line meant that services were later truncated to Royalla before being suspended entirely in 2006.[6]


Description


The station area has three main areas, general waiting room, ticket office and ladies waiting room, plus sheds, lamp room and the yard area.[1]
