Raglan railway station, New South Wales
Raglan railway station is a heritage-listed disused railway station located on the Main Western railway at Raglan in the Bathurst Region local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The former station was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History. The line to Raglan, then the terminus of the line, opened for passenger traffic on 4 March 1873 and for goods traffic on 4 August. The station was originally built on the top of a steep incline. Following a severe train crash in early 1890, which  could have been prevented had there been runaway points at Raglan station, there were also calls to remove the station to more level ground. The colonial government acted quickly after the inquiry into the accident, and the new station on a site on level ground opened on 20 October 1890. The current station dates from this time. Description. The station building is a type 9, non-standard timber building with brackets and a tin roof. The station has an island platform made from brick. Heritage listing.
