Summary

| Description |
English: The Emerald Railway Station is a heritage-listed railway station on the Central Western railway line at Clermont Street, Emerald. The building design was signed by Henrik Hansen and was built in 1900 by Thomas Moir. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
The Central Western railway was extended from Comet to Emerald on 19 May 1879. Emerald was chosen as a point for branch lines to Clermont (1884) and Springsure (1887) to save building separate lines to each and to enable the main line to be extended due west. Emerald's position as a railway junction made it a locomotive depot allowing Emerald to become a major regional centre. The station building and yard dominates the south side of Clermont Street. The station building is distinguished by the semi-circular roof to the central portico. Flanking pavilions are also distinctive elements having window shades and pedimented treatment with louvred lunettes, repeating the motif established by the central portico. The roadside verandah has cast iron columns and is partially built-in. The platform shade has cast iron posts with a curved roof, unlike the carriage shades of earlier designs. The Emerald station building group expresses through its architecture and close association with the main street the importance of the railway to the township in 1900 and thereafter.
