| Municipal Inventory | Adopted | 25 Feb 1998 | 3. Some / Moderate significance | |
The place has historical significance as a reminder of the role played by the railway in the development of small rural settlements in Western Australia. The Clackline township developed largely as a result of railway activity in the area.
The Clackline Railway Platform, although deserted, very clearly demonstrates the design of the early railway platforms. All that remains is the concrete edging, but it is easy to visualize the line and an approaching train. Clackline was an important junction for the branch line to Toodyay which opened in 1888. The Clackline General Store is located close to the former station.
