Colo Vale is a former railway station which was located on the Picton – Mittagong loop railway line. It served the small town of Colo Vale, a northern village of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
History
The station opened on 1 May 1883 as Colemans Siding, and was renamed Colo Vale on 1 August 1885.[1] The station along with the Loop Line was closed in 1978.
The station is located on a crossing loop. It has been restored by the Colo Vale Community Association.
In 2021, an upgrade to the line from Buxton to Colo Vale was announced, with project delivery by Transport Heritage NSW.[2] When complete this will allow return of premium heritage train experiences to Colo Vale.[3]
