Warwick Farm is a railway station in the south-western suburbs of Sydney on the Main South Line located at its intersection with the Hume Highway. It is served by Cityrail trains of the South, Bankstown, Cumberland and Inner West lines[1]. A station opened here in 1889[2] as a private platform near the former level crossing on Liverpool Road (Hume Highway). It was re-built and moved to its present location in 1943 during WWII when nearby Warwick Farm racecourse was used as a military camp[3]. A branch line to the nearby racecourse joined the mainline immediately north of the station, and carried special racecourse trains on racedays. This branch opened in 1899 and closed in 1991[4]. The formation of the line and the platform are still visible.
