History

The station opened as Crushers on 2 February 1874, and was renamed Katoomba on 9 July 1877. [1]

At 9:00am on 11 March 1881, a passenger train collided with a goods train at the station. There were no deaths, however, there were some serious injuries. [2]

The present island platform was built in 1891 for a cost of £6,922. The platforms were extended in September 1898, August 1901, and again in November 1907. [3]
