Ropes Crossing – Former Railway Station

The area was the site of a World War II munitions area, now formerly known as Australian Defence Industries or (ADI). The area had its own railway line which was electrified in 1957. When the line first opened on 1 May 1942, it only ran from St Marys to Dunheved and on 29 June 1942 the line opened from Dunheved to Ropes Creek. The line was closed to passenger rail traffic in the early 1980s then 1986 for freight traffic. image
