Midland Railway of Western Australia (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Midland Railway of Western Australia was a privately built and operated railway in Western Australia, operated by the British-owned Midland Railway Company of Western Australia. The Midland Railway ran between Midland, an industrial satellite city of Perth, and Walkaway near the city of Geraldton and was built on a land-grant principle. The Midland Railway was one of the longest-lived privately-owned railways in Australia, operating independently of the Western Australian Government Railways network for more than seventy years, from 1892 until government takeover in 1964. The 446km route served 39 stations and operated according to a distinctly British practice.
