A Glimpse at the Jarrahdale Line

This is a really short look at some action on the now closed Jarrahdale to Mundijong, 3'6" narrow gauge line, in Western Australia filmed about 1975. The line serviced the Bauxite mine at Jarrahdale, transporting the ore down hill to Mundijong where it met up with the rest of the network. (I do not have any recording of the D Class locomotives sound, so I have substituted our WAGR's A Class locomotives in lieu, to bring the old Super 8 film stock to life.) Enjoy, Terry.

Cant say I worked the last Bauxite train but was there when Alcoa were winding down in the late 90s
I started at Kwinana 1990 and Jarrahdale services had a mix of D,DB,N,NA,P..class locomotives with consists at 70 and 45 cars in length
Train orders were the movement authority

Hi Terry, the Jarrahdale-Kwinana Railway operated from the early 1960s. It opened on 9 June 1963, and the last train over the line was on 16 February 1999.
