Bull's Creek Dam: The Forgotten Railway Water Supply of Linden

Hidden in the bushland of Linden in the Blue Mountains, Bull’s Creek Dam once supplied vital water to steam trains climbing the mountains. Built in the 1880s as part of the Western Railway Line’s infrastructure, this small stone dam fed Linden Station via wooden pipelines, helping keep engines moving across the range. Today, it sits quietly among ferns and sandstone — a forgotten but essential piece of railway history reclaimed by the landscape it once served.
