Berowra railway station is located on the Main Northern line, serving the Sydney suburb of Berowra. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line services and NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services. ==History== Berowra station opened on 7 April 1887 when the Main Northern line was extended from Hornsby to Hawkesbury River. In 1909, the line was duplicated and the present island platform built.〔(Berowra Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔(Berowra Railway Station Group ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 On 23 October 1983, a passing loop was opened opposite the platform.〔"Signalling & Safeworking" ''Railway Digest'' April 1984 page 126〕 This allowed suburban services to terminate, and from January 1992, Berowra became the northern boundary of the CityRail network replacing Cowan.〔"CityRail launches new timetable" ''Railway Digest'' February 1992 page 45〕 On 28 August 2006, Platform 3 opened on the passing loop as part of the CityRail Clearways Project, to allow suburban trains to terminate clear of the running lines. Trains now terminate on the middle Platform 2, allowing through trains to overtake any terminating trains standing in the station. The upgrade also included provision of lifts, a new over-rail bridge for general station access and additional wet weather protection.〔(Rail Clearways Program - Completed Projects ) Transport for New South Wales〕〔(Project Profile ) Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation〕 On 22 January 2007, Berowra station was almost engulfed as bushfires swept the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Efforts from firefighters saved the station and a train which had terminated there.〔(Cool change helps Sydney firefighters ) ''ABC News'' 22 January 2007〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berowra railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
