Illawarra Junction, Sydney
- Illawarra Junction, Sydney
The Illawarra Junction is the major railway junction in Sydney, Australia and lies in its inner southern suburbs. It is where the four tracks of the original Illawarra railway line and the six tracks of the Main Suburban Line merge before continuing northwards to Redfern and Central stations. The junction poses some operational difficulties for CityRail, as trains from the 'Suburban' tracks on the Main Suburban Railway crossover onto the 'Local' tracks in a flat junction just east of MacDonaldtown station, limiting capacity on this section. There have been various proposals to grade-separate this junction but none have yet come to fruition.
