Braemar is a former railway station which was located on the Picton – Mittagong loop railway line. It served Braemar, a small town in the Macarthur Region of New South Wales, Australia.
The station opened on 1 March 1867 as Rush's Platform upon the opening of the Great Southern Railway extension to Goulburn. [1]
The station served the Rush's Family Hotel owned by Bartholomew Rush and his wife. [2]
It first appears in a footnote of the Great Southern Railway Timetable on 20 March 1867 as a stop for setting down and picking up passengers if required. At the time, it was the only other station to be opened on the extension. [3] In later timetables, it was referred to as "Rush's" and explicitly listed as a stop. [4] Initially, two Up services and two Down services passed the platform each day with an additional service on Saturdays. Travel time to/from Sydney was about 3.5 hours. [3]
Until 10 May 1891, Mixed and Goods trains were not permitted to stop at this platform. [5] However, this instruction was amended to allow for Up Goods trains to stop to pick up fruit when required. [6]
By April 1892, the station was referred to as "Braemar (late Rush's)" at least internally to the government. [7] However, the station name was still published in newspapers as "Rush's Platform" until late 1892. [8]
The station along with the Loop Line was closed in 1978. [9] There are no remains of the station. At present, the station only services a concrete sleeper supplier and the company Clyde Engineering.[ citation needed]
