Railway Stations - Moss Vale NSW
Moss Vale NSW is situated south of Sydney on the main southern line to Melbourne. Moss Vale was also the junction for the cross-country line to Port Kembla.
In 1972 Moss Vale was a bit of a drive south of Sydney but it was an interesting place to head for if you were a train enthusiast. Sunday mornings were usually fairly quiet; the previous week’s goods programme was over and the new week’s was yet to start.
Back on March 12, 1972 this is how Moss Vale station appeared looking south from the road bridge just to the north of the the station.
On the left is the dock platform with a CPH stabled in the dock. It was possibly laying over before heading down cross-country line to Wollongong.
Next to the line into the dock are the up and down mainline. Then we see the beginning of the goods sidings in the yard. The line on the right holds a string of loaded BLH limestone wagons. On Monday they could also be heading down the escarpment to the steel works at Port Kembla.
