Metropolitan Meat Platform railway station was a railway station located on the Abattoirs line, serving the former State Abattoirs in Sydney, New South Wales.
History
Metropolitan Meat Platform was opened on 11 January 1915 and closed in late 1984. The Olympic Park railway line is built over sections of the former Abattoirs branch, both east and west of the former station.
The station was opened as a result of the formation of the Metropolitan Meat Industry Board of New South Wales. The board had been established as part of the "Meat Industry Act 1915", to oversee and control the slaughtering of cattle and inspect meat products. Metropolitan Meat Platform provided service for board members visiting the abattoirs.
The station itself was rarely included in suburban rail maps, but passenger services were provided and operated by CPH railmotors, until the line north of Pippita railway station closed in late 1984 including Metropolitan Meat Platform.
As part of the construction of the Sydney Olympic Park, the station was demolished and built over, with no remnants now extant.
