History
Rhodes station opened on 17 September 1886. In March 1892, a second platform was added when the Main Northern line was duplicated. In 1912, an extra line was added to the west of the station, but no platform face was provided until 1928.
Rhodes developed into a predominately industrial area, being the base for railway locomotive manufacturer Tulloch.
To the north of the station, the line crosses the Parramatta River via the John Whitton Bridge. This opened in May 1980 replacing the original iron lattice bridge.
Beginning in the 1990s with the gated village/suburb of Liberty Grove (the luxury suburb opened in 1998) the area was redeveloped. It now includes residential apartments, commercial offices and the Rhodes Waterside shopping centre. In the 2000s, Rhodes station underwent a major redevelopment.
In June 2015, a southbound loop opened to the south of the station as part of the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor project.
