It depends on what type of train is meant by the question. The first horse-drawn railway track was established in South Australia on 18 May 1854. It ran between Goolwa and Port Elliot, and the train, which was mostly for goods, was entirely powered by horses. Victoria was the first Australian state to have a completed mechanical railway line. Railways were first established on 12 September 1854 in Melbourne, Victoria when Australia's first steam train ran from Flinders Street to Sandridge, now Port Melbourne. The first attempt to construct a railway line in Australia had come when the Sydney Railway Company began constructing a railway track in New South Wales between Sydney and Parramatta, but financial problems delayed its completion. The NSW government took over, and the line was finally opened on 26 September 1855, a year after the Melbourne line.

Edge Hill Station, Liverpool to Manchester line 1836Acctually no it is Stockton on tees 1825. The inventor george stephenson stockton to darlington train.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockton-on-TeesLook In the economyAnother correction, the first answer was correct. It was on the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.The Stockton - darlington railway steam power was primarly used for moving coal. Passenger transport on this line was done via horse drawn carriages. Also, the transport of passengers wasn't according to a timetable or schedule.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_stationquote from this page-" The first stations in the modern sense were on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, opened in 1830. As of 2008, Liverpool Road railway station (Manchester) is preserved as part of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester".The first scheduled steam powered passenger service that would be recognised today as a "train service" is the the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. Hence, the stations on this railway would be the oldest.http://www.mosi.org.UK/1352
