SideTracked - Meckering
Location Information
About the Location
The rail link to Kalgoorlie reached Meckering in 1892 and within six years the town was home to a railway station. The current station, which opened on 1 December 2007, is a shell of the station that once served the town, now a mere platform for the Prospector and MerredinLink services that pass.
