It was located next to and originally opened for the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, and was open between 1888 and 2020.

History

Rosehill station opened on 17 January 1888. [2] The station was relocated on 14 May 1959. [3]

The station was located at the end of a double track section from the Main Western line junction at Clyde. The station had two platforms, a four car platform on the Carlingford branch, and a 16 car platform on the Sandown line, which was used by Rosehill Gardens Racecourse trains on selected race days. Immediately south of the former platform 2 is a protected tree with a dilapidated fence around it.

Closure

The majority of the Carlingford railway line has been converted to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project. The entirety of the Carlingford Line, including Rosehill railway station, closed on 5 January 2020 and the Sandown Line closed in July 2019, to enable light rail construction to proceed. [4] [5]

Rosehill railway station was demolished in late 2022 to make way for the construction of the Clyde Stabling and Maintenance Facility as part of the Sydney Metro West Project. [6]
