Ropes Creek railway line

Overhead wiring for approximately 10 car lengths was retained at the St Marys end of the branch, where it turned off the main western line, to provide a terminating point for trains used on "Y" Link services.

The first part of the line to be removed was the area outside Sims Metal, to allow the extension of Christie Street between Dunheved Road and across South Creek.

A large hole in the platform with a few metal pulleys is the only remaining evidence that a signal box was located within the station building.

At one stage, the rail formation and yard area at the western end of Dunheved station were used by a local company for the storage of concrete pipes.

A satellite view of the line north of Links Rd (Dunheved) on NSWRail Maps 22 April 2008 showed that urban sprawl had meant that the site of Cochrane Railway Station had disappeared under Ropes Crossing Boulevard.

Within this fenced off area, signals (both semaphore and colour light) along with other various pieces of track-side equipment was dumped in piles with no regard to their heritage importance.

During 2014, the remnants of the station were converted to a local park for Ropes Crossing residents, with the remaining platform, overhead beams, rail tracks and old machinery featured as design elements.

The sidings are now used for the storage of track machines during rail shut-downs or whenever scrapped rolling stock is delivered to the Sims Metal recycling plant.
