Towrang railway station was a railway station on the Main South railway line, serving the locality of Towrang, New South Wales, Australia. It originally opened as a platform on 19 May 1869, called Mannafields after a property of the same name. On 11 March 1870 the platform was renamed Towrang. The initial platform was later replaced by a new station to the north, in 1874.[1] It was an active station with a siding to load local agricultural produce.[2] The station closed on 9 November 1974 and was demolished in the 1980s.[3] Little evidence remains of the station, although two sets of points were later installed at the site to allow access to either track at times of track maintenance.
