History
Macquarie Fields station opened on 3 October 1888.[1]
An additional track was opened to the west of the station in 1995 as part of the Glenfield - Ingleburn passing loop.[2] This unelectrified track was used by freight and long distance passenger trains. In December 2012, the track was incorporated into the Southern Sydney Freight Line and became freight only.
