| Description |
Notes: The Picton - Mittagong line was opened in February 1867 as part of the Main South line. The line runs north from Picton, over the Picton Viaduct, across the Great South Road before heading west. It then heads south through a 180 metre tunnel in the Redbank Range. Stations were constructed at Thirlmere (1885), Couridjah (1867), Buxton (1893), Balmoral (1878), Hill Top (1878), Colo Vale (1883) and Braemar (1867). There were a number of smaller stops, sidings and passing loops along the line, as well. North of Hill Top, the cutting through Big Hill was for many years the deepest in Australia. During construction in 1863 an explosion killed three workers whose names are carved in perpetuity in the rockface. Format: Albumen photoprint, Charles Percy Pickering, attrib.
