Yarra railway station was a railway station on the Main Southern railway line, serving the locality of Yarra, New South Wales, Australia. It opened in 1875 initially as Collector, and was renamed Yarra on 15 April 1878. It was closed to passenger services in the late 1970s.[1] It was later completely demolished and no trace of the station now survives. East of the station is Joppa Junction, the junction of the Main South line and the Bombala line, which branches at Queanbeyan for Canberra.
