Towrang is a closed railway station on the Main South railway line in New South Wales, Australia. A platform opened in the locality in 1869 south of the later station, called Mannafields after a property of the same name. A later station opened in 1874 north of the initial platform[1] at 208 km south of Central, serving the small Southern highlands town of Towrang. It was an active station with a siding to load local agricultural produce.[2] The station closed in 1974 and was demolished in the 1980s.[3] Little evidence remains of the station, although two sets of points were later installed at the site to allow access to either track at times of track maintenance.
