Camden railway line
The Campbelltown-Camden railway line was opened on 10 March 1882 and ran between Campbelltown, New South Wales and Camden, New South Wales. It carried freight and passengers but was rarely busy. It was operated by a rather slow steam engine known to locals as Pansy.
Due to the steepness of the grade between Campbelltown and Kenny Hill, the passengers would sometimes have to disembark the train and walk alongside it, leaving their bags on board.
The intermediate stations, from the Campbelltown end were: Maryfield, Kenny Hill, Currans Hill, Narellan, Grahams Hill, Kirkham, and Elderslie. They have all disappeared without trace.
The line closed on 1 January 1963.
Traces of the original line's route can still be seen along looking up Kirkham Lane from Camden Valley Way. The elevated section as it passed through this low-lying area are visible - the nearby Nepean River would flood the land around this area when it burst its banks.
Photographs of the line are on display at the Narellan McDonalds restaurant, and also in the Camden Historic Society Museum in Camden.
