| Description |
English: The two world wars are reflected within the Toowoomba Railway Station environment. From 1914-1919 a magnificent wooden Honour Board at the north end of the station pays tribute to the role of Toowoomba railway workers in the armed services in World War I. Of interest is the fact that it was crafted at the North Ipswich railway workshops, and unveiled by railway commissioner Charles Evans, a former Toowoomba railwayman himself. The station also has two World War II air raid shelters: one near the Honour Board built as protection for railway employees; the second lies outside the main station entrance and was constructed to protect the general public from bomb splinters.
The Honour Roll is set on diagonal boarding and has a central panel with a broken pediment on scrolled brackets, divided from side panels with pilasters. Carved into the broken pediment are the Australian Coat of Arms and the words: Roll of Honour, 1914-1919, Queensland Railways Toowoomba Employees. The side panels are also framed by pilasters crowned with decorative motifs of the Queensland Railways emblem, scrolls and shells. The pilasters also frame lighter timber plaques with names in gold print. The Honour Roll is flanked by smaller memorial plaques with gold lettering and motifs.
