Valley Heights railway station is a regional railway station on the Blue Mountains Line of the CityRail intercity network, serving the suburb of Valley Heights in the Lower Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia.
The station has an island platform and is served by one train each way per hour in off-peak, with additional services during peak hours. The station was originally a point where locomotives were added onto intercity trains due to the steep railway gradients in the Blue Mountains.
The station opened in 1875[1] and was once a major rail centre during steam era. A railway roundhouse and depot is now registered by the NSW Heritage Office and is maintained as the Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum.
