The Grenfell railway station is a heritage-listed closed railway station located on the Koorawatha-Grenfell railway line in Grenfell in the Weddin Shire of New South Wales, Australia. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
Description
The heritage-listed complex includes a type 16 station building, built in the Pioneer sub-type 2 and class A6 design, that was completed in 1901. A goods shed, or side shed, was also completed in 1901. The platform face is timber with consolidated earth. The turntable is a Sellers 1072 type.[1] The railway station opened on Шаблон:Date start.
Passenger services on the Grenfell railway line ceased in 1974.[2] The station is closed and has been restored by local organisations. The goods shed is now used as a Men's shed, a place for local men to get together. Grenfell had the normal facilities for a terminus station, including a station building, turntable, ash pit, coal stage and water tank. The yard was rationalised in 1985, which saw the removal of the engine servicing facilities and the turntable.[3]
Heritage listing
As at 27 November 2000, the station building was probably the finest extant example of a pioneer terminus station with timber platform face, it is in fair condition and suitable for adaptive re-use. The locomotive facility is an excellent example of a small intact terminus complex capable of use and retention. It is one of the very few remaining locomotive facilities in the state.[1]
