Enfield South Platform railway station

Enfield South Platform is a former railway station on the Flemington-Campsie Goods Line in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[1] It was used by workers at the nearby Enfield Tarpaulin Factory[2] and also signallers at the nearby Enfield South signal box. The factory was used by the railway to make tarpaulins for covering open wagons. It was decommissioned in 1996.[2]
