Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot, Locomotive depot in Broadmeadow, Australia.
The depot spans 18 hectares and features two roundhouse buildings with turntables designed for locomotive maintenance and storage along the Main Northern railway line.
Opening in March 1924, the facility replaced Hamilton's Woodville Junction locomotive sheds and operated as New South Wales' second-largest rail depot until December 1994.
The site represents the evolution of Australian railway engineering, containing 42 archaeological locations that document the transition from steam to diesel locomotive technology.
Transport Heritage NSW manages this facility, which includes multiple maintenance buildings, a former District Engineer's Office, and refueling infrastructure from different operational periods.
The depot retains two original 75-foot diameter turntables from 1924, with one remaining functional for rotating locomotives within the railway complex.
