Rogans Hill railway line

The line was single track throughout, and ran alongside Windsor and Old Northern Roads between Northmead and Castle Hill.

The line proved to be unsuccessful – unlike the tramway, goods traffic was not carried and the stations were too sparsely spread to be as convenient as the tram it replaced.

Passengers preferred the new and faster motor buses which could take them directly to businesses in Parramatta, and the line closed on 31 January 1932.

The district that the line served is now substantially developed, and is a region of Sydney deficient in fixed-rail public transport infrastructure.

A plaque has now been erected, on sleepers and old rails, at the site of the Castle Hill railway station, with pictures of the line during its 30-year existence along with a short history.
