Bumberry Junction (likely a play on words based it being located at the bridge over Bunbury Curran creek[ citation needed]) was a temporary location on the Main Southern Railway in New South Wales, Australia, between the future Ingleburn, and Macquarie Fields railway stations. It was built for the duplication effort of the line between Liverpool and Campbelltown. The station opened 27 March 1891. [3] It did not appear in passenger timetables however it appeared in working timetables "for the use of officers and employees only". [4]
In August 1891, the station was receiving 4 down services and 4 up services. [5] With the occasional Special running such as "Cook's Special Cheap Excursions". [6] [7] [8]
The station had access to the railway telegraph network until 4 April 1892. [9]
The station was decommissioned 2 June 1892 with the completion of the bridge across Bunbury Curran Creek. [10]
Macquarie Fields station opened on 3 October 1888. [11]
An additional track was opened to the west of the station in 1995 as part of the Glenfield - Ingleburn passing loop. [12] This unelectrified track was used by freight and long-distance passenger trains. In December 2012, the track was incorporated into the Southern Sydney Freight Line and became freight only.
It has been reported that a ghost of a teenage girl haunts the station, where screaming is often heard at night after train services have stopped. In July 1906, a woman named Emily Gengeson was reportedly run over and killed by a train. [13]
Since the second half of 2017, Macquarie Fields railway station has been served exclusively by the Airport and East Hills line, meaning commuters have to change at Glenfield to travel to either the city via Granville or to Blacktown via the Cumberland Line. [14] [15]
In 2024, it was announced that the station would be receiving a multi-million dollar upgrade and overhaul, improving accessibility [16], commuter access and parking. Construction is expected to begin in late 2024 and be completed by 2026. [17]
