Wangamong is a small place, also called a locality, in New South Wales, Australia. It is known for its connection to the railway, which helps move important farm products like wheat.

Transport in Wangamong

Wangamong is located along the Oaklands railway line, Victoria. This railway line is special because it uses a broad gauge. This means the two rails of the track are set wider apart than on many other train lines. The line was once operated by a company called Victorian Railways.

At the Wangamong station, there is a large building known as a wheat silo. A silo is like a giant storage tower used to hold grain, such as wheat, after it has been harvested. This silo is very important for local farmers because it helps them store their crops safely before they are transported by train to other places. The silo is a key reason why the railway station was built in Wangamong.
