| Registered Name |
Tantanoola Railway Station & Goods Shed |
| Significance |
This Railway Station, built in 1880, together with the corrugated iron barrel-vaulted goods shed, is one of the oldest remaining railway buildings in the South East. This station was built as part of the rail link from Mount Gambier to Beachport, which was opened on 19 May 1879 and therefore represents the earliest period in this region's railway history. The line was built to permit agricultural produce to be exported through Beachport. The line from Adelaide via Wolseley was connected with the South East network in June 1887. The station became unattended on 1 May 1980. |
