The Sandown Line is a short industrial railway line in the western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The line branches from the Carlingford line at Camelia junction, just north of Rosehill station. It was electrified in 1959. The railway is now used by occasional freight trains only, but when electrified it carried an infrequent electric suburban service to serve the surrounding industrial area. The line had 3 simple stations: Sandown, Hardies and Goodyear (a platform called Cream of Tartar Works closed prior to electrification). The clousure of Goodyear station preceded the closure of the remaining two. All stations were unattended by staff members. The overhead wires were removed in December 2002.
