Pennant Hills Railway Station
Pennant Hills station on Sydney's CityRail network serves the suburb of Pennant Hills in Sydney's Hills District. Opening in 1886, this station lies on the Northern line leading from Berowra in the north through to North Sydney station via Strathfield and Central. In recent years the station has undergone an upgrade. It has significant patronage due to the people of neighbouring suburbs Cherrybrook and West Pennant Hills utilising it. The station consists of two side platforms and two running tracks, the "Up" and "Down" Main North Lines. Immediately north of Pennant Hills, a four track section of the Main North line begins which runs to the next station of Thornleigh.

“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
