The fprmer railway siding, now only a site, has historical, social and cultural significance in that the railway greatly widened opportunities for the district both economically and socially, greatly reducing the communities dependence on horse and dray and mailcoach. The siding is a reminder of the extension of the railway from Nyabing to Pingrup.
After World War I, the Government set about extending the railway from Nyabing to Pingrup. The rail, a 21 mile line, commenced construction by the PWD in 1922 and the official opening took place on 28th October 1923. However, regular services did not commence until about a week later, on 8th November.
