Mount Victoria railway station
Mount Victoria has always been an important railway centre since its opening in 1868. It was the first platform structure made of material other than timber built after Penrith station. The original station building still remains and was to a design consistent with the time of John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief of the NSW Railways. Further additions were carried out in 1899 to the ladies' toilet and other areas. The parcels office was added in 1911 to the Sydney end of the building.
Victoria Dock branch line
Prior to 1850, the city of Kingston upon Hull had one dock area to the west of the River Hull. This was served by the York and North Midland Railway by the goods station on Railway Street. The new Victoria Docks were opened in 1850 to the east of the river where Victoria Park is now located. Victoria Station and a connecting branch line was built to connect the new docks to the rest of the rail network. Having received the necessary permission in 1852, the line was opened for freight traffic on 16 May 1863 and for passenger traffic on 1 June 1863. Passenger traffic ceased a year later due to lack of numbers.
