"The Mount Victoria Railway Station is associated with John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief of the NSW Railways, as the original station building was built to a design from his time, and with George Cowdery, Engineer-in-Chief for Existing Lines, as the two-level stone addition containing the Railway Refreshment Room was built under his supervision." New South Wales Department of Environment & Heritage Listing: (visit link) It opened on 6 September, 1869.

* Mount Victoria Station is NOT wheelchair accessible. *

There are two 'side' platforms, with a connecting set of steps and gantry footbridge. Platform 2 building was built in 1869, with the refreshments room added in 1884. Platform 1 building was added when the line was duplicated in 1911. It services the Main Western Line, and is 126 km from Central Railway Station. It is now an electrified line.
