Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot
Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot (NSW depot number 2) was a large locomotive depot consisting of two roundhouse buildings and associated facilities constructed by the New South Wales Government Railways adjacent to the marshalling yard on the Main Northern line at Broadmeadow. Construction of the locomotive depot at Broadmeadow commenced in 1923 to replace the existing crowded loco sheds at Woodville Junction at Hamilton, with the depot opening in March 1924.〔Historical Notes on the Main Northern Railway Strathfield to Wallangarra, J. Forsyth, NSW PTC〕〔"Remember When" ''Railway Digest'' February 1995 page 45〕
==Original facilities==
Original facilities proved included a single manually operated diameter turntable with 42 radiating roads. Twenty one of these roads were covered by a wooden framed roundhouse building clad in corrugated sheeting. All 21 roads in the roundhouse had long pits, radial drop pits were fitted to all 21 roads. Two elevated tanks fed three diameter water columns. An office for the ''District Locomotive Engineer'' (referred to as the DLE) was constructed using concrete drop panels.〔NSWR drawing 37-116 ''Broadmeadow Loco Depot Offices for Chargeman, Bookers On Etc'' dated 14 June 1923〕 An office building for the Superintendent, Steam Shed Inspector, Timkeepers & Clerks was built near the water tanks 〔NSWR drawing 37-115 ''Broadmeadow Loco Depot Offices for Superintendent, Clerks Etc'' dated 11 August 1923〕 along with a rest barracks for crews from other depots that was located near the depot, with both of these buildings also using the concrete drop panel method of construction.〔
Coaling was provided by a capacity wooden elevated coal bunker capable of loading coal to locos on both sides. The coaling stage was long by high and was served by an 1:30 grade approach ramp. The coal bunker was also provided with storage and drying facilities for sand, with two wet sand bunkers of capacity and two dry sand bunkers of capacity being provided.〔NSWGR drawing 24295 ''Arrangement of sand handling Plant on Existing Bunker Broadmeadow'' dated 26 September 1924〕 A timber framed machine shop clad in corrugated iron served from one of the radial roads from No.1 turntable was also provided.〔NSWR drawing 37-117 ''Loco Depot Broadmeadow Machine Shop Details'' dated 3 September 1923〕 This building housed the wheel lathe as well as general lathes and other machine tools for use in maintaining the locomotives based at the depot. Also housed in this building was a blacksmiths section and the air compressors for supplying compressed air to the depot, along with the pumps for the boiler washing out plant.〔NSWGR drawing 23161 ''Arrangement of Machine Shop Broadmeadow'' dated 14 September1923〕 A timber framed corrugated iron clad meal room for running staff capable of housing 140 men was also built near the workshop.〔NSWR drawing 37-114 ''Broadmeadow Loco Depot Meal Room For Running Staff'' dated 24 July 1924〕
Adjacent to the arrival road inspection pits and a timber framed stores building clad in corrugated iron was also provided.〔NSWGR drawing 23181 ''Broadmeadow Loco Depot Alteration to Buildings and Locations'' dated 26 September 1923〕 Two elevated de-ashing roads were constructed to the south of the site near the coal stage. These de-ashing pits consisted of a set of pits between the rails and side pits that were used for the disposal of the ashes from the smokebox and ashpan produced by the burning of coal in the firebox of the steam locomotives. Running underneath these pits at an angle was a sunken rail line where wagons were placed to collect the deposited ashes. in 1925 these deashing pits had a steel and timber frame corrugated iron clad shed constructed over them.〔NSWR drawing ''Broadmeadow - Shed Over Loco Deashing Plant'' dated 31 August 1925,〕
