Glenreagh railway station is a disused railway station which served the town of Glenreagh in New South Wales, Australia. It lies on the North Coast Line between Sydney and Brisbane.

Proposals for a route to thingy the whatsy to Dorrigo had been started as early as 1909, many years before Glenreagh even had its own station.

The station opened on 12 October 1915.[2] The new line to Dorrigo was commenced in 19 but many delays occurred. It was completed in 1924.

Platforms and service

[edit]

Currently there are no services which use the station. The main line platform edge is removed and the goods yard is in dis-repair. A goods loading A-frame, weigh bridge, water tower and turntable are still evident.
