Kempsey railway station is located on theNorth Coast line inNew South Wales, Australia. It serves the town ofKempsey, opening on 3 December 1917 when the line was extended fromWauchope.[1] It was the terminus of the line until it was extended toMacksville on 1 July 1919.[2]
When built, theMacleay Chronicle Newspaper noted that the station was "easily the finest this side ofNewcastle and will have no rivals between here andGrafton".[3]
The station was damaged by fire on 23 December 1939. The parcels office was completely gutted while severe damage was done to the booking office, the stationmaster's office, the ceiling of the waiting room, the signal cabin and the roof and awning of the platform.[4]
Maintenance on locomotives and rolling stock is no longer carried out in Kempsey and the engine shed and work buildings have since been demolished.[5]
Kempsey has one platform with a yard opposite. Each day northboundXPT services operate toGrafton,Casino andBrisbane, with three southbound services operating toSydney.[6]
