associated with the railway. The Tank Stand combined with the Goods Shed, the railway dam and sidings are the only visual evidence of the railway which figured prominently in the development of Sandstone. The size and location of the structure make it a very prominent feature of the town.
This large timber structure located at the end of Hack Street originally had four corrugated iron water tanks on top of it. Criss cross bracing reinforces the structure.
The railway was extended to Sandstone in 1910 and remained in operation until 1949. The water tanks provided water for the steam engines.
Integrity: Medium Degree Modifications: The water tanks have been removed.
