History of infrastructure development in Bathurst
As soon as the railway bridge over the Macquarie River was completed the railway entered the town proper on 4 April 1876. Travel times for goods and passengers were 24 hours travelling by horse and buggie on the Western Road, the time dropped to 6 hours by train, a 75% reduction. This created a great boost to growth particularly with the boom in population and trade due to the Gold Rush.
