Statement of Significance
The goods shed is representative of the transport and communication function of the railway line. It is a landmark in the Narembeen townscape.
Physical Description
Timber framed and clad with corrugated iron walls and roof. The railway line passes through the length of the building and a raised ramp and opening are on the town (west) side of the shed.
History
The railway first came to the Narembeen siding in 1917 on a line extending northwards from Narrogin via Yilliminning, Dudinin, Kulin and Kondinin. Narembeen siding was the railhead from 1917 until 1925 when the Merredin line was opened. The goods shed is the departure and receival point for goods arriving and departing by rail. The post office was located in close proximity to the Narembeen Railway Station and goods shed for the convenience of mail conveyancing. The goods shed is still a receival and departure point for goods, by road.
