Relocation
Originally, the Huon railway station was located approximately one kilometre north of its current location and was forced to relocate in 1932 after the introduction of the Hume Wier. This large body of water had also forced the entire township of Talangatta to relocate including the railway station servicing the town when gates were installed on the Hume spillway to increase the weirs capacity The "new" railway station of Huon, was very similar to that of the "old" Huon railway station, consisting of 4 roads, a platform and goods shed for local goods trains. The major difference separating the two railway stations is the location of the goods shed, with the "new" Huon goods shed being in the centre of 4 road, instead of at the east of 4 road.Demise of the Cudgewa Line
Huon Railway Station along with other railway stations on the Cudgewa Line had seen a dramatic decline in services after the Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme (rail transport of goods for the creating of the Snowy Hydro Electricity Plant) by the early 1970s. As services kept declining until there was only one goods train per week, commonly known to be hauled by dynamic brake fitted locomotive T413. Stock trains on the Cudgewa Line had also depleted due to the rapid upgrading of road transport. Huon station along with the whole of the Cudgewa line officially closed on 1 March 1981, despite the last regular goods service running on 21 April 1978.Huon Railway Station today
After closure thirty-six years ago, much of the Huon station has been depleted, although is known as being the most intact station on the Cudgewa Line. Today, the platform remains, along with two RY type goods trucks opposite the remnant goods shed, along with a 153 HP Walker rail car (24RM) sitting dormant.References
