Burrangong railway station was a regional railway station located on the Blayney–Demondrille line, serving the South Western Slopes town of Burrangong.
History
The line between Young and Cowra opened on 1 November 1886,[1] but a station at Burrangong wasn't provided until 1 February 1889.[2] A passenger platform was provided, with a timber waiting shed opening in 1891. A good siding initially provided was converted into a loop in 1891, which was converted back to a siding in 1899. The siding was abolished in 1938, and the waiting shed removed in 1964. The station closed in 1971 and little trace remains.[3]
