Darling Harbour Yard was a goods railway yard in Darling Harbour, New South Wales, Australia.[2] The yard was once the origin of all outgoing goods traffic from Sydney. It was one of two major yards on the former Metropolitan Goods line, the other being in Rozelle.[3] After closing to heavy rail in 1993, the alignment of the Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods Line which passed through it was reutilised by light rail. The precinct around the yard was significantly redeveloped in the decades following its closure.
