McAlister railway station

McAlister was a railway station on the Crookwell railway line, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in 1902 with the opening of the line, and consisted of a 100 ft platform on the up side of the line with a loop siding on the down side.[1] It was named after magistrate Lachlan McAlister. Some goods facilities were removed in the 1930s. The remainder of the station and loop closed in 1969 and were subsequently removed.[2] The line through McAlister closed to goods traffic in 1984. Little remains at the site apart from the mainline track and a loading bank.
