Meekatharra to Wiluna railway

The Meekatharra to Wiluna railway was a 113 miles (182 km) branch line of the Western Australian Government Railways that extended the Mullewa – Meekatharra railway from Meekatharra to Wiluna. Wiluna was the furthest rail terminus from Perth on the Western Australian Government Railways system.

Construction began in the late 1920s, and the line operated between 1932 and 1957, mainly serving the Wiluna gold mining area.

However Wiluna was also at the end of the 1,900 kilometres (1,200 mi) from Halls Creek in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and so the railway became a vital means of dispatching cattle intended for southern markets.

The track was susceptible to washaways.
