History
In 1910, it was decided to extend the railway line from Quairading to Bruce Rock (Nunagin, as it was called then). The official opening of the line took place on 29th March 1913, followed by the link to Merredin in December that year. The railway came from Quairading to Kwolyin in October 1912. The bin was constructed in 1933. Prior to that the wheat was stacked. The bin closed in 1971 and has since been dismantled.
