Statement of Significance
The railway makes a major landmark in the local townscape and, in busier years, has been the nexus of local pedestrian, car and horse traffic, in particular that related to provisions for the mines. It was also important in establishing links between Eaglehawk, Bendigo and towns to the north-west. The station has become central to other buildings over the years so that the landforms associated with the railway line, the station itself and the adjacent buildings together reflect the former importance of this form of communication to the nineteenth-century town.
