Comment: This is well-written article! The only issue I have here is the uncited stats in the infobox - if you can cite that information then I think the article is publishable :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:24, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Tarana Quarry railway station was a railway station on the Main Western railway line in New South Wales, Australia, built to serve the nearby quarries of the region. The platform opened during 1890^[2] as Tarana Quarry School Platform, was renamed to Tarana Quarry on 24 October 1909 and closed on 24 August 1974.^[3] The station had a subsidiary lever frame that was released by track circuit to allow the siding to be shunted from either direction, as the station was too close to Tarana station to divide the section equally.^[4] During 1916, automatic signals were added to Tarana Quarry due to the station's proximity to Gemalla Loop.^[5]

Today, there are no traces of any railway infrastructure near the location of the former station, the area now incorporated into the Eusdale Nature Reserve.^[6]
