Thanks! 14:27 This branch takes the Indian-Pacific and the Transwa standard gauge passenger trains between their depots in Kewdale and the passenger terminal in East Perth, via the Midland line on the suburban passenger network. It was initially double-tracked. That's why there are two bridges. 16:32 The Midland line, Eastern Railway and Eastern Goldfields Railway distances are marked from the former Chief Engineer's Office at the East Perth Terminal, all the way to Parkeston near Kalgoorlie. 17:41 This new track on the left transfers the Indian-Pacific and the Transwa passenger trains from the Midland line to the Eastern Railway past a temporary platform. 18:34 The former Helena St level crossing and the new Midland station. 20:09 The line to the PTA's facility where the new EMUs are being built. 20:32 Lloyd St underpass. 23:00 Former Robinson Rd level crossing. 23:20 The line of trees on the right marks the position of the First Route of the Eastern Railway, straight ahead. 23:43 The trees on the right and the power line mark the position of the Second Route, which went through the Swan View Tunnel and had a slightly easier gradient. 24:33 On the left was the Helena Valley Racecourse, which had its own rail spur. 29:04 Here where the line straightens out, is where it joins the former alignment of the Midland Railway, which came in from the south from Midland. 37:44 Around here, to the left, was the materials yard for the building of the dual gauge railway through the Avon Valley. The materials came by rail on a temporary spur from the Midland Railway. 39:46 No. 1 Cutting 40:20 No. 2 Cutting
I've had a few experiences when visitors from overseas have asked "Can we go to Uluru today?" or "Can we visit my friend in Brisbane tomorrow?" This is because they had no idea how big Australia really is. In the same vane, if you look at the map of this 2 hour trip, you will see it is just a tiny part of one state. It can take days to cross the country. 😵💫
Thanks!
