Dalby railway station is located on the Western line in Queensland, Australia, serving the town of Dalby. The station has one platform with a passing loop and opened in 1868.^[1] The original wooden station building was burned down in 1930, to be replaced later in that year by a pre-cast concrete building using the same foundations and floor plan of the original building.

As of 1 December 2015 the building is occupied by the community group "Western Downs Outreach Project".^[2] The station building is now used as a community lounge that is open six days a week. A soup kitchen operates on Monday and Thursday nights. Markets are held at front and within the station building on the first Sunday of each month. All proceeds are used to restore the building and continue the soup kitchen.^[2]

Services

Dalby is served by Traveltrain's twice weekly Westlander service travelling between Brisbane and Charleville.^[3]
