Maryfields railway station
Maryfields railway station was a railway station on the Camden railway line, serving the area of Maryfields in Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia.
History
Maryfields opened in 1883 as Rudds Gate before being renamed Maryfields in 1938, and was the last infill station on the Camden railway line, which had originally opened in 1882.Although originally opened as a small platform, the popularity of the station necessitated better facilities. In 1937 the Department of Railways reconstructed the station as a 150 m platform to accommodate large crowds.
The station had at one point during its existence, enjoyed six return trips each day, but the growing popularity of personal vehicles, and the negative perceptions of the efficiency of the railway line led to the ceasing of services between Campbelltown and Camden on 1 January 1963, resulting in the closure of Maryfields. Only minor formations now remain at the station site.
