Petersham railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Petersham. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & South line services. ==History== Petersham station opened on 6 January 1857.〔(Petersham Station ) NSWrail.net〕 The Main Suburban line through Petersham was quadruplicated in 1892,〔"NSW Railway Passenger Services 1880-1905" ''Australian Railway History'' Vol 56 No 810 April 2005 page 141〕 and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.〔"Sydney Electric Trains from 1926-1960" ''Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin'' April 2001 page 128〕〔(Petersham Railway Station Group ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 The heritage listed Victorian Italianate station built in 1885 facing Terminus Street, with platform at rear, is the only major 'First Class' station building known to have been built in Sydney in the 19th century.〔 A turn-back siding previously located between the local tracks has now been removed.〔"Reading the Railway Landscape" ''Australian Railway History'' May 2010 Volume 61 no 871〕 This turn back siding was located on land now used for the training college west of the station. A pedestrian subway was provided in 1892 at the western end of the station, connecting Trafalgar and Terminus Streets. Access to the platforms from this subway closed after 1988.〔Stations & Tracks Volume 1 Main Suburban State Rail Authority 1988〕 A neo-gothic footbridge is located at the eastern end of the station.〔 Upgrades to the station took place in the late 1990s, with the wooden steps on the footbridge being replaced due to their slipperiness in wet weather, a small but high-roofed shed at the east end of the platform being removed for security reasons, and the area under the lower part of the platform stairs also being fenced-off for similar concerns. 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「Petersham railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
