History
The original Merredin station opened in 1895. It was an important station on the Eastern Goldfields Railway, being the junction station for lines to Narrembeen, Bruce Rock, Northam, Southern Cross and Nungarin and had an extensive yard. Today lines extend south from Merredin south to Narrogin and Kondinin.
When the line was converted to standard gauge in the late 1960s, a new station was built diagonally opposite. The original station is used as a museum. Exhibits include a G class steam locomotive and TA class diesel locomotive.
