Narromine railway station is a former regional railway station located on the Main Western line, serving the Orana town of Narromine. It is currently reused as a coach stop by NSW TrainLink.
History
[edit]Narromine station opened in 1883[1] but by 1939 revenue at the station was declining,[2] and by 1954 the station was in a state of disrepair.[3] The station survives in good condition and has been restored. It is used by NSW TrainLink coaches.[4]
To the west of Narromine station lies the junction of the Parkes–Narromine railway line, which forms part of a cross country route to the Main Southern railway line at Cootamundra.
