  1. Railway Stations King Street and Newtown Railway Station from a coloured postcard. c.1906 Newtown Railway Station The station opened in 1855, as one of the original stations on the Sydney to Parramatta rail line (Ashfield, Burwood, and Homebush). It was serviced by ten steam trains a day. In 1878 the station was moved from the end of Station Street to the fork of King Street and Enmore Road. Until the 1960s, Newtown was a major hub for train-tram transfers. Electric tram services were centred there and the old Newtown tram depot still stands next to the station.
