Newcastle railway line, New South Wales
The Newcastle railway line is a branch railway line in the city of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The line branches off the Main North line at Broadmeadow and travels in an easterly direction through the inner suburbs to Hamilton station. Until its curtailment in December 2014, it extended to Newcastle station. NSW TrainLink operates electric passenger train services over this line as part of its Central & Newcastle line service, and diesel railcars to Maitland and beyond as part of the Hunter Line.
==History==
A line between Newcastle and the then much larger settlement at Maitland was first proposed in 1853 by the proponents of the original Sydney to Parramatta railway. The ''Hunter River Railway Company'' was formed later that year and the line was surveyed, however the private company failed and was bought out by the NSW government.〔Walters, C: ''The Great Northern Railway Newcastle to Maitland 150 years on'' Australian Railway History, April 2007. ARHS〕 Construction continued until the line opened in 1857.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.nswrail.net/lines/show.php?name=NSW:newcastle )〕 It was electrified in June 1984.〔"The Official Opening of Newcastle Rail Electrification" ''Railway Digest'' July 1984 page 218〕
The terminus at Newcastle moved to various locations throughout the years, and has variously been named Honeysuckle and Honeysuckle Point. It was moved to its current location in 1872 and took its final name of Newcastle in 1935 when Wickham and Civic stations opened. A mortuary station opened in 1883 to serve trains departing for Sandgate Cemetery. It closed on 1 April 1933.〔"60 Years Ago" ''Railway Digest'' April 1993 page 162〕 A large goods yard, the ''Newcastle Goods yard'' was constructed east of Newcastle station in 1858. This was closed in the late 1980s and redeveloped as a bus station and park land. The line was duplicated in 1864. The Main North Line from Sydney connected at Hamilton Junction in 1887.
