Toolijooa railway station is a closed railway station on the South Coast railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The station opened on 2 June 1893 and closed on 19 October 1974.[1] The station was equipped with a platform, waiting shed, and hand signal to allow the train to stop to pick up passengers where necessary.[2] In 1899, a request for additional accommodation and sanitary rooms for men and women was approved by the Railway Commissioners.[3] A siding was planned for the station, but the matter was held in abeyance due to land needing to be dedicated for the road approach.[4]
