Rookwood railway station was a railway station on Sydney's Main Suburban railway line, which served the Rookwood Cemetery, and the suburb of Rookwood. The station was located between the bridge over Arthur street and the westernmost junction of the Flemington rail yard. It consisted of two single faced platforms, one on the up suburban line and the other on the down suburban line.[1]
