History

Rosehill station opened on 17 November 1888.[2] The station was relocated on 14 May 1959.[3]

It lies at the end of a double track section from the Main Western line junction at Clyde. The station has two platforms, a four car platform on the Carlingford branch, and a 16 car platform on the Sandown line, which was used by Rosehill Gardens Racecourse trains on selected racedays. Immediately south of platform 2 is a protected tree with a dilapidated fence around it.
