Cockle Creek railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the City of Lake Macquarie suburb of Boolaroo, opening on 15 August 1887.〔(Cockle Creek Station ) NSWrail.net〕 It was rebuilt on its present site in 1957 when a new bridge was built immediately south of the station.〔(Cockle Creek Former Railway Station and Bridge Piers ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 The station buildings were demolished in March 1993.〔''Railway Digest'' May 1993 page 199〕 The privately owned Caledonian Collieries railway line to West Wallsend, Seahampton, Killingworth, Barnsley and the now vanished town of Fairley, joined the government line at Cockle Creek. This line carried mixed traffic, including passenger and freight trains, but was largely used for coal traffic until the last working mine, West Wallsend Extended Colliery at Killingworth was closed during an industrial slump in 1962. The station is on the eastern side of Cockle Creek and a balloon loop exists west of the creek for the Teralba Colliery. ==Platforms & services== Cockle Creek has two side platforms. It is serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services travelling from Sydney Central to Hamilton (Newcastle). 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「Cockle Creek railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
