Wallerawang railway station is a disused station on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It opened on 1 March 1870[2] as the terminus of the Main Western line when it was extended from Bowenfels. On 1 July 1870, the line was extended to Rydal.[1] Originally named Mudgee Road, it was renamed Wallerawang in 1873.[3][4]
In 1880 work commenced on the new rail line to Mudgee,[5] the first stage of the Gwabegar line. Completed in May 1882, Wallerawang became a junction station from a junction 600 metres west of the station.[3][4]
With the State Rail Authority replacing the Lithgow to Orange and Mudgee services with road coaches, the station closed in May 1989.[4] Road coach services still call opposite the station.[6]
