'''Thomson''' is a railway station on the [[Walhalla railway line|Walhalla narrow gauge line]] in [[Gippsland]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Australia]], located where the line crossed the [[Thomson River (Victoria)|Thomson River]].  The station was situated on the section of line closed in 1944.

The station reopened in 1995, and is now the headquarters of the [[Walhalla Goldfields Railway]]. The platform and wooden station building had been reconstructed at Thomson for use by WGR tourist trains as a terminus.

A large bridge across the Thomson River is at the [[Rail_directions#Up_and_down|down]] end of the station. Two trestle bridges at the [[Rail_directions#Up_and_down|up]] end of the station have been dismantled in preparation for their restoration as part of a future extension of the railway to [[Erica railway station|Erica]].
