Town in New South Wales, Australia
Ardglen is a village on the Main North railway line and close to the New England Highway on the North West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia .
History [ edit ]
A railway station was opened there on 13 August 1877 as Doughboy Hollow, which was later renamed Ardglen on 29 June 1893. No trace of the railway station now exists.[2] The significant 488 metre single-track rail tunnel, Ardglen Tunnel , passes through the Liverpool Range south of the former rail station site.[3] It is one of the very few remaining single-track tunnels in use.
This tunnel is at the summit of the line at the watershed, with ruling grades of 1 in 40 approaching in both directions. Bank engines are required for the heaviest trains.
Doughboy Hollow Post Office opened on 16 November 1877, was renamed Ardglen in 1893 and closed in 1983.[4]
The former public school has now closed.
The NSW Railways has been operating a hard rock quarry for over 100 years near Ardglen village.[5]
Ardglen is in the Liverpool Plains Shire local government area (LGA) and Buckland County .[6]
