The railway station precinct has historical association, aesthetic, research, social, research and representative significance. The station building and stationmaster's residence are very significant civic buildings and important townscape elements in understanding the political and economic development of Uralla.
Development of the railway system has a historical association with the development of local, regional and national economies. Construction of the railway line and associated buildings was part of the expansion of railways throughout the 1880s and 1890s. This part of the northern line was a result of the work of John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief for Railways and the contractors, the Amos Bros. The structure and layout of the line has undergone little change since the early 1880s.
The architecture of the railway station and station master's residence are interesting examples of railway architectural style of the 1880s.
Social significance arises from the use of the railway as a system of carrying passengers and varied goods. It was a meeting place for railway workers, horse and vehicle carriers, farmers and travellers as they waited for trains to arrive and goods to be unloaded.
The station precinct has historical and archaeological research potential. The main shed has been demolished and is a potential archaeological site.
The Uralla railway station is part of a group of mid Victorian stations built on the main northern line between Tamworth and the border that represents the most intact group of buildings in the state dating from the late 1870s. The residence is an excellent example of a residence built for the station master with an entrance forecourt. There is a similar example at Armidale.
The Uralla Railway Station group is representative of the economic rationalist approach developed by the state government in the 1980s as stations were closed, infra-structure demolished and station master's residences sold off.

The iconic "Indian Pacific", being hauled by Pacific National loco NR29 with G530, arriving into Broken Hill, Outback NSW Australia, from Sydney at 6am 28 June 2018 on its way to Perth WA. Passengers disembark for a choice of 3 off-train excursions to local galleries or similar for approx 2 hours before continuing on westward towards Perth, Western Australia.
"The Indian Pacific is an Australian passenger rail service that operates between Sydney, on the Pacific Ocean, and Perth, on the Indian Ocean. It is one of the few truly transcontinental trains in the world. The train first ran in February 1970 after the completion of gauge conversion projects in South and Western Australia.
The train's route includes the world's longest straight stretch of railway track, a 478-kilometre (297 mi) stretch of the Trans-Australian Railway over the Nullarbor Plain.
The service was originally operated jointly by the New South Wales Government Railways, South Australian Railways, Commonwealth Railways and Western Australian Government Railways, until February 1993 when Australian National took full ownership. In October 1997, the Indian Pacific was sold to Great Southern Rail.
A one-way trip takes between 70.5 and 75 hours, depending on scheduling and daylight saving periods. The train currently has two classes, branded as Platinum and Gold Service. A motorail service conveys passengers' motor vehicles between Adelaide and Perth."

One day, I'll talk someone into showing me how to read the schedule so that:
(a) I know what's going to be where, and when,
(b) I can put the train number (or whatever it's called) on my posts.
Any volunteers?

Seen here at Western Australian Rail Transport Museum, Bassendean (Perth) WA.
The X class was an unusual design in many ways. They were the first mainline diesel electric locomotives purchased by the WAGR, with X1001 being the first of the type. It entered service on 8 March 1954 after delivery from the builder, a joint venture company formed by Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company & Beyer Peacock of England.
The locomotives in the class were given the names of West Australian aboriginal tribes, except for X1001 which was christened Yalalonga, after the chief of the Swan River tribe.
The main power plant was a Crossley H.S.T.V8 diesel engine, derated to 1105h.p. (825 k/w) at 625rpm. Crossley engines had been highly successful in both marine and small power station use, but in the relatively rough environment of a railway locomotive, they gave some trouble. In addition the X class had a rather unusual wheel arrangement with a 4 wheeled bogie at either end, and 8 wheels on a rigid frame in the middle, and this cause further problems in their early years. It became apparent during the early years of X class operation that it would be advantageous if the locomotives could be multi-coupled, so before their delivery was completed the order was altered to provide this facility. Thirty-two locos were then delivered as X class, with the remaining 16 being fitted with the multiple control equipment and classed XA.
The X class spread rapidly and worked widely in the northern and eastern areas, where their greatly reduced need for coal and water was of most advantage.
Being the first mainline diesel locomotive in the state, X1001 had several ‘firsts’ to its credit, including the heading of the first diesel hauled passenger train into Kalgoorlie on 4 May 1954, in company with X1002.
This engine was originally written off on 29 May 1981 but returned to service on 1 September 1981 due to XB1022 being wrecked at Boyup Brook. While in service it ran nearly 1.35 million ,iles (2.25 million km) before making its final run on 28 March 1983. X1001 was withdrawn from service three days later. It was towed into the railway Museum at Bassendean on 7 April 1983 and was officially written off on 9 April.
