Renowned rail devotee Tim Fischer has been honoured with a special commemorative plaque at Albury Railway Station a year after the former deputy prime minister died, aged 73.

Hundreds of people lined the platform of Albury Railway Station last August as a heritage train carrying his coffin pulled into the station with a round of applause before his state funeral in the NSW border town.
