Cue Station

Cue Station, November 1977


Cue Station, is very much still around, it's currently fenced off and requires some restoration work. I can tell that it will be eventually used as
the club house for the local sports ground, as the football oval is positioned in place of the former railway yard. A steel water tank is located
south of the station and looks to atleast be 25 years old, so it could have been used by the railways. The goods platform and crane are
located to the north of the station. The station is located on the eastern side of town.

The town of Cue is located in the centre of Western Australia, the railway line that once ran through the town, was opened at the turn of
the 20th of centuary and was eventually closed in 1978. Cue was located on the line that ran from Mullewa, to Meekatharra, this railway
line was originally set up in response to goldrush towns springing up in the Murchison region. Most of the stations along this line, were
quite exceptional, as they were constructed with stone and have lasted the test of time, except for the ones that were demolished. Only
Cue and Yalgoo still stand today, Meekatharra's station still stands also, but it's of a 1960's design of station, simular to Three Springs.
