Carcoar
Standing above the quiet township of Carcoar is the former Carcoar railway station on the now-closed Blayney to Demondrille railway line.
The railway line to Carcoar was completed and opened in 1888. The Great Western Railway had reached Blayney 12 years earlier, in 1876, and by 1888 Blayney had developed as an important rail centre while Carcoar’s growth had slowed.
By c1919 the railway yard at Carcoar included an engine dock, loop siding, goods siding and shed, stock siding and a stockyard. Services to Carcoar were suspended in December 1987 but the station building remains a prominent landmark above the historic town.
