Mount Kuring-gai railway station
railway station in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Mount Kuring-gai railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Main North line, serving the Sydney suburb of Mount Kuring-gai. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line services and some early morning and late night intercity Central Coast & Newcastle Line services.
History
Mount Kuring-gai station opened on 5 October 1901 as a passing loop named Kuring-gai, and was originally located north of the present station site. On 1 November 1933, it was renamed Mount Kuring-gai, and rebuilt as the present station in 1909 when the Main Northern line was duplicated.
The station was the terminating point for some suburban services and had a signal box to facilitate these workings. It was removed in April 1988 resulting in all services continuing to Cowan, until 1992 when the CityRail suburban network was curtailed to Berowra.

Why this record matters
The phrase “railway station in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6921729. Authority coordinates are -33.653, 151.137. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1901, 1933, 1909 and 1988.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
