Sulphide Street railway station was the terminus of the Silverton Tramway in New South Wales, Australia. It served the city of Broken Hill.
Sulphide Street station opened on 2 January 1889 as the terminus of the Silverton Tramway from Cockburn. In 1905, a new station building was built.[1] [2] From 1891 until 1929 Sulphide Street was also served by the Tarrawingee Tramway. The station closed on 9 January 1970 when the Silverton Tramway was replaced with the standard gauge line extended to South Australia via Broken Hill station.[3] [4] [5] [6]
The station reopened in the late 1970s as a museum.[6] Among the exhibits are Silverton Rail locomotives Y1 and W24, South Australian Railways T181 and a Silver City Comet set. The station can be seen in the cult 1971 film Wake in Fright[5] [7]
