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 Shackleton siding is located on the line between Quairading and Bruce Rock. The railway came from Quairading to Shackleton in 1912. The bin was constructed in 1933. Prior to that the wheat was stacked.
