History
[edit]Lameroo railway station opened on 14 September 1906 when the railway line was opened from Tailem Bend to Pinnaroo.[1] When opened, the station consisted of a main building (an iron shed) and a platform.[2] A goods shed was erected in 1908.[3] The station was rebuilt around 1914.[4] The station closed to regular passengers in 1968.[5] In July 2015, the line through Lameroo became disused after rail haulage was supplanted by road transport.[6][7] The station office has been preserved as a railway museum.[8]
