Station History :
Boyanup Station, was at the end of the first installment of the
railway to Northcliffe from Bunbury, the line to Boyanup was
completed
way before the line from Perth connected to Bunbury. Boyanup was
the junction for the railway lines heading to Northcliffe and to
Flinders Bay, in years gone
by, however now, the line to Flinders Bay, only goes as far as
Capel. Today Boyanup Station survives quietly covered in moss
and with the occasional passing woodchip train heading to
Bunbury Port from Manjimup. Besides the Stations platform, the
water tower also has survived along with the goods platform and
carriage or engine shed's which now house the Boyanup Museum.
Updated Text.... Today Boyanup
Station, sees no activity, as the line from Picton Junction to
Lambert has unoffically closed due to speed
restrictions making the transportation of woodchips
unecconomical. However, hopefully in the near future the line
will reopen, as far south
as Greenbushes where the transportation of woodchips or log
traffic will once again commence.
This will still leave the line to Capel, closed and as it has
been for a while the Boyanup Transport Museum, remains closed.
