Yalgoo Railway Water Tower

The Railway Water Tank has historic significance for its association with the railway line which was of great importance to the town of Yalgoo and the surrounding district, first for transport linked with the mining industry and later for wool.

The Railway Water Tank consists of a large iron tank on a random rubble stone base.

The water tank has rusted through and has leaks which are effecting the lower stone section of the structure.

The lower section contains a room with the door to the east facade.

It has two windows with bars to the west elevation. The stonework, which has been pointed and rendered in places, shows signs of erosion.

The Railway Station Precinct also includes a Station Master's House, a railway worker's house, railway barracks, two railway dams, a railway water tank and several pepper trees. Originally the precinct also included a Railway Goods Shed which has been relocated to the rear of the present Shire Office for use as a machinery shed as well as other railway workers' cottages nearby.icance as part of a railway precinct which includes the railway station, station master's house and railway barracks.
