History
The original Railway Station was opened in 1913 and by the late 1960's it was apparent they the facilities needed upgrading. Bruce Rock is an important junction with lines from Merredin, York and Narrogin linking at the station. In the 1970's an average of 20 trains, 6 road buses and 6 road truck movements, per week. were centred at the station. The station was designed to accommodate community needs as well as railway operations. The station opened on the 23rd May 1975, with a ceremony officiated by RJ O'Connor, the Minister for Transport and an address by Mr RJ Pascoe, the Commissioner of the Western Australian Government Railways.
