Manoora station is on the now closed line from a junction at Roseworthy to Peterborough, South Australia. This broad standard gauge line reached Manoora on 21 February 1870. Passenger services ended here in January 1984 and grain trains last used this line in 2004. The station remains in increasingly decrepit condition including this water tower constructed of local stone. On the tank can still just be seen the remains of the advertising that was commonly seen on such structures in South Australia.
