RAILWAY STATION STAFF

Please find below details of WAGR station officers at Gnowangerup station. The SM was on duty from 8am-4pm and the ASM from 4pm-midnight. The ASM position was created in 1948 and lasted until 1979. There are gaps in the ASM list and I have not found a permanent appointment for those times. I imagine it was filled by a Station Relief Officer.
