					from Lyndon Hewitt (from New Norfolk Book)	Caption below photo: The original New Norfolk Railway Station was described as a handsome little edifice with a long raised platform and a well constructed verandah. Two waiting rooms were provided for the general public, and commodious offices for the employees. A medium sized goods shed with the rails laid through it, coach and stable accommodation, stock-yards etc. were all connected with the station, whilst a little distance away stood the Station-Master's dwelling house.
