St Marys railway station is located on the Main Western line, serving the Sydney suburb of St Marys. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 Western line services.
St Marys station opened on 1 May 1862 as the interim terminus of the Main Western line when it was extended from Rooty Hill. It was initially named South Creek, being renamed St Marys on 1 August 1885. On 19 January 1863, the line was extended to Penrith.
In 1942, St Marys became a junction station when the Ropes Creek line was built, primarily to serve the munitions factory in World War II. The line closed in 1986, being truncated into two storage sidings at the western end of the station with the overhead wiring removed.
In March 1983, 40 people were injured when a suburban train failed to stop at the station and derailed at catch-points to the west of the station.
