Woodhouselee railway station was a railway station on the Crookwell railway line, in Woodhouselee, 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 a local resident Mr Woodhouse. The platform was closed in 1974 with the cessation of passenger services and subsequently demolished.[2] The line through Woodhouselee closed to goods traffic in 1984, the loop has been removed but the mainline remains intact.
