The railway Station Master was a feature of life in Western Australia for 120 years. In rural towns he was one of the few civil servants who would always be there. Other station masters worked where there were no towns, still vital to ensure safe movement of passengers and freight.
In this book, researcher Jeff Austin has chronicled not only the era and role of the Station master, but has listed them all by name and dates. An index to surnames make the book equally valuable for genealogy and local history research.
