Boyup Brook Station, 9th of March 2003
Built : 1907?
Original Name : Boyup Brook
Station History : Boyup Brook, was at the end of the line from Donnybrook, untill in 1911, the line was opened from Boyup Brook to Kojonup and
eventually to Katanning. I'm not sure when the line between Donnybrook and Boyup Brook closed, or even what the reasons were, however, I do know
that the line between Boyup Brook and Katanning was closed in 1982, due to it's uneconomical operations and also because of constant flooding to the line.
Today you can still find traces of the line out in the bush, you can find relects from the towns or small settlements that sprung up around the railway siding,
like Wilga and Kulikup. Boyup Brook Station is now a privately owned building, and you can still find bits of track around the old station yard, the goods shed
with crane still survives, as well as some old covered WAGR wagons, which have been converted into offices, behind the station.
