    Heritage Inventory Significance: Low local. While it forms a small part of the temporary changes that the second world war brought about, is in a very poor state of preservation.

    Heritage Inventory Site Features: Runs for approximately 300 metres on east side of railway. Remains as a ridge, with white quarts 'ballast' rocks. A mound, approximately 5 metres wide, extends for approximately 300 metres between the sheepwash Creek Bridge and the crossing with a dirt road that leads to 'Boomagong' station

    Archeological Potential: Potential/Disturbed
