Wentworth Falls railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the Blue Mountains town of Wentworth Falls opening on 22 July 1867 as Weatherboard, being renamed Wentworth Falls on 21 April 1879.[3]
In 1902, it was converted to an island platform when the line was duplicated.[4] A passing loop previously existed north of Platform 1 but has been disconnected from the main line.
Transport Heritage NSW celebrated 150 years of the railway with a weekend of events in July 2017.[5]
