Waterfall railway station is located on the Ilawarra line, serving the Sydney suburb of Waterfall. It is served by Sydney Trains T4 Illwarra line services and NSW TrainLink South Coast services. ==History== The station opened on 9 March 1886 as Waterfalls, being renamed later in the year. It served as the line's terminus until it was extended to Scarborough in 1887. When the line was duplicated from Hurstville on 12 December 1890, the station was relocated northwards. In 1897 a locomotive depot opened.〔(Waterfall Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔(Waterfall Railway Residences & Yard ) NSW Environment〕 On 4 May 1905 the station moved 600 metres north to its present location.〔 On 20 December 1994, a shunting accident involving two empty S sets saw one train jack-knife onto the platform, demolishing the concrete pedestrian bridge.〔"Waterfall Collision Puts Focus on Procedures" ''Railway Digest'' February 1995 page 6〕 South of Waterfall railway station is the site of the Waterfall train disaster, a rail accident that claimed the lives of the driver and six passengers on 31 January 2003.
