Emu Plains railway station is located in the western Sydney suburb of Emu Plains and also serves the surrounding suburbs of Emu Heights and Leonay. With two side platforms, it is located on the Western and Blue Mountains lines of the CityRail network. It is the terminus of the main branch of the Western line, though many trains terminate at the previous station of Penrith. Two sets of points at the eastern end of the station allow 'down' trains (heading away from Sydney) to terminate at either platform and return to the city.

Famous quotes containing the words plains, railway and/or station:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“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)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
