Camden railway station was a railway station in Camden and the terminus of the Camden line in South Western Sydney.[1][2] It opened along with the line on 10 March 1882 and closed along with it on 1 January 1963.[3] Apart from the station master's residence, the station is no longer extant.[4][1]
Camden station opened on its first location on 10 March 1882, 11.56 kilometres from the junction with the Main Southern line. A waiting shed existed on the down track, as well as a run-round. In January 1883, the line was extended and the station was relocated. At this point, there was a goods siding, as well as a siding on the up track and a crossover. The station has a waiting shed and an office, whereas the original waiting shed from the initial temporary site was moved to Kirkham Lane.[5] A station master's house was constructed in 1889 next to the passenger station building, which was moved in 1901. Some improvements were also made to the station.[6]
The Camden line had been perpetually unprofitable and lacked investment, and a bus service had operated the length of the line in 1925 and from 23 February 1961. The line closed on 1 January 1963. The final train departed Campbelltown just after midnight and arrived at Camden at 12:55am.[3]

The Camden line initially carried three daily return services, which was later increased to six, with a journey time to Campbelltown of approximately 40 minutes.[3]
