Marree railway station was located on the Central Australia Railway serving the South Australian town of Marree.
History
Marree station opened on 7 February 1884 as Hergott Springs as the terminus of the Central Australia Railway when it was extended from Farina. The line was extended to Coward Springs on 1 February 1888. The station was renamed in 1917. In 1891, the line was extended north to Oodnadatta, ultimately reaching Alice Springs in 1929.
On 27 July 1957, Marree became a dual gauge junction station, when the narrow gauge line from Peterborough was replaced by the standard gauge Stirling North to Marree line. It closed in 1980 when a new standard gauge line opened from Tarcoola to Alice Springs and the line was curtailed to Leigh Creek.
Three NSU class locomotives have been preserved at the station.
