| 説明 | Junee:•Railway Station and Station Square. The original 1878 timber station was replaced in 1883-1885 with a grand French Renaissance style station and refreshment rooms. At each end of the building there is a pavilion with French mansard rooves and bay windows. The central part has a parapet and the platform has a veranda. Water was provided from a brick domed tank in the middle of the square outside the station. It was forgotten about and rediscovered in 2002.A travellers hotel was later added to the station and is now the cafe. A branch line to Narrandera opened 1881. Just out of the town is the Junee Roundhouse. It now operates as museum. The Roundhouse is built in brick and glass and was only constructed during World War Two and opened in 1947. It is a large roundhouse with 42 engine bays where repairs and reconstruction could be performed. When built the 100 foot turntable was the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. In its last years diesel engines and even the XPT trains were maintained and serviced here. Sadly the Roundhouse closed in 1993. A public meeting was held and it reopened as a museum in 1994. |
