John Whitton was the Engineer-in-Charge for the New South Wales Government Railways, serving between 1856 and 1890 and is considered the Father of New South Wales Railways. Under his supervision, it is estimated that 3,494 km of railway around New South Wales and Victoria were completed. Whitton was responsible for the construction of parts of the Main Western railway line, in particular the section over the Blue Mountains and the Lithgow Zig Zag, and much of the Main Southern railway line.
The John Whitton Bridge carries the Main Northern railway line across the Parramatta River, located between the Sydney suburbs of Rhodes and Meadowbank.
The original double track Meadowbank Bridge opened on 17th September, 1886 as part of the construction of the Main Northern railway line. It was a lattice truss bridge designed by John Whitton, the Chief Engineer of the New South Wales Government Railways. In 2000, the original bridge was refurbished and reopened for bike and pedestrian use.
