Hardies railway station was a railway station on the Sandown railway line in the then-industrial suburb of Camellia in Sydney, Australia.[1] It opened 4 April 1938[2] and served a nearby factory owned by James Hardie Industries. On 18 June 1959, the original platform was replaced by a new one located on the up track on the Sandown side of the Grand Avenue level crossing.[3] Passenger services on the Sandown line, and hence to Hardies, ceased on 19 December 1991.[4]
Hardie was among a number of companies that had private sidings on the line.[5] These were named Hardies Asbestos Siding (originally the Asbestos Slate and Sheet Manufacturing Siding), which opened on 25 October 1916, and Hardies Asbestos Siding No. 2, which opened on 1 May 1926. Both sidings were connected separately to the line and were removed on 13 November 1990.[3]
