Rosewater railway station was a railway station located in the northwestern Adelaide suburb of Rosewater. The station was right next to the Eric Sutton Oval, and was located about 7km from Dry Creek on the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide line.

[edit] History

The station opened in 1916, along with the Rosewater Loop. The station consisted merely of a shelter and a 2 metre-long step-down platform. When the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide line closed to passengers on 29 May 1988, Rosewater was one of two stations to operate until the line's closure (the other being Junction Road station), because the stations east of Junction Road station closed in 1987. The platform and shelter were demolished shortly after. There is no evidence of the station left.
