All freight coming from the east coast via rail had to be transferred from one train to another due to narrower tracks in WA until after 1966. The operation is seen here at Kalgoorlie in 1962 thanks to Screen Australia. | Lost Perth

Before the hum of buses and the screech of the Mandurah Line, Perth once echoed with the familiar rattle and clang of electric trams. From 1899 as further routes were added, together with other city track resulted in a 37 kilometre network by June 1913. At that time there were 53 trams in the fleet and further additions were made until the lines fell silent i 1958, trams were the heartbeat of the city—gliding through the tree-lined streets of Subiaco, Nedlands, Fremantle to Melville (1905-1952),

Many WA country towns are only there because the railways found water to quench their thirsty trains. Farmers miners and the towns businesses received and despatched all manner of items via the railways until farms got larger and the transport of grain became easier. The galley on the Navy ships I cooked on reached up to 55 degrees Celcius on a good day due to the weather, the ovens, fryers, steamers, hot plates and Bain Maries but we always spared a thought for the lads in the engine room deep

Western Australia had 6600 kilometres of railway in 1937 and steam trains as far as the eye could see helping to build our great state. Thanks to Hotham Valley Railway in Dwellingup, we can all experience a little nostalgia with the kids. I hope you enjoy my day following the steam train last season as she made her way up the steepest ascent in Australia and I am looking forward to my next visit and maybe we will take a picnic on the train with us too? | Lost Perth

The recently retired Australind train, which served the Perth to Bunbury route for 37 years, is currently stored in Pinjarra. This historic train is located in a siding at Pinjarra, an area known for its collection of heritage railway items. The Australind train service was suspended in November 2023 due to the shutdown of the Armadale line for upgrading and the pending retirement of the current rolling stock. The route has been replaced by coach bus services until late 2025. In anticipation of

In the mid-20th century, before Mandurah transformed into the bustling regional city we know today, it was a sleepy coastal town, a place of fishing shacks, lazy estuaries, and quiet resilience many of us still remember fondly. Today, Mandurah continues to grow, but in its heritage buildings, in the Tuckey, Peel, and Sutton homesteads, in the street signs, and in the hearts of those who remember the town before the bridge and bypass, the Tuckey name seen here still quietly echoes. A reminder of

This morning in the town of Boyanup , a little steam engine comes back to life once more approaching her 123rd birthday. Leschenault Lady first entered service on the 13th December 1898, built by James Martin & Co at Gawler, SA to perform passenger and freight duties around Perth along with 23 other G Class engines. As larger loads and bigger trains were purchased, the little G Classes were sent out for important duties in timber and mining towns such as Ravensthorpe on the 8th of September 1909

Who remembers when Sir Charles Court back in '79 closed the Perth to Freo rail line? This short vid gives you an almost unbelievable reason why it was done. Premier Burke had it reopened in 1983. It always seemed a daft decision I thought. (Thanks ABC TV Perth) | Lost Perth

The Fremantle Rail Bridge is the second rail crossing constructed over the harbour end of the Swan River since the railway opened March 1st 1881. The first bridge was a single line of timber construction and was duplicated later before floods damaged the bridge causing both lines to collapse in 1926. A new bridge opened in 1965 we see in use here of the same name, was damaged when a ship struck it in 2014 having broken it's moorings in a storm. Although protection has been put in place since, th
