History

Henty station opened in 1880 as Doodle Cooma. It was renamed Henty on 4 February 1891, and relocated to its present site in 1904.[2][3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.

Services

Henty is served by two daily NSW TrainLink XPT services in each direction operating between Sydney and Melbourne.[4] This is a request stop, so the train stops only if passengers booked to board/alight here.

Description

The heritage-listed station complex includes the main station building, which is a timber building of type 7 design with a skillion roof completed in 1904, the brick platform dating from c. 1880, and the goods shed, built from corrugated iron with dimensions of 45'x17' and a curved semi-elliptical roof.[1]

Heritage listing

This site contains a range of items not often found together comprising a simple skillion roof timber station building with a rare curved roof goods shed, one of the few remaining and an early gatehouse of which several are found on that section of line. Individually the goods shed is of high significance and together they form an important group of buildings. They are also prominent in the centre of the small town of Henty on the main street.[1]

gollark: yes.
gollark: Same raw arguments maybe, different *behavior*.
gollark: Thus, syscall count alone doesn't define how complex it is.
gollark: You could replace every syscall with a megasyscall™ which performs the function of every other one, but it's the same or slightly higher complexity.
gollark: I don't think it is simpler and reduces code just to have fewer syscalls.
