Harefield railway station

Harefield railway station was a railway station on the Main Southern line, serving the locality of Harefield in the Riverina, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in 1878, when the railway line was extended from its previous terminus at Junee railway station to Bomen railway station.

History

The station opened on 3 September 1878 as Wallace Town, but was renamed Harefield on 1 March 1882 shortly after the renaming of the local post office. Harefield served passengers until 1983 when it was closed, with the station building remaining in a state of considerable disrepair.
In 2012, the site of Harefield station became a freight container terminal housing up to 160 12-metre containers at any one time.

Description

Harefield consisted of one passenger side platform with a small station building and metal fencing. The station was constructed on a passing loop, with a third track serving a loading bank and refuge siding for grain silos located nearby.
