Eastern Goldfields Railway
The Eastern Goldfields Railway was built in the 1890s by the Western Australian Government Railways to connect Perth with the Eastern Goldfields at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie.
==History==
The Eastern Railway opened in stages from Perth to Northam in the 1890s, and the Eastern Goldfields Railway extended this line through semi-desert to the Eastern Goldfields paralleling the Great Eastern Highway for much of its journey.
It opened in stages between 1894 and 1897.
*Northam to Southern Cross: (opened 1 July 1894)
*Southern Cross to Boorabbin: (opened 1 July 1896)
*Boorabbin to Kalgoorlie: (opened 1 January 1897)
The railway line ran parallel with the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme. The chief engineer for both the railway and the pipeline was Charles O'Connor.
In October 1917, the Commonwealth Railways' standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway from Port Augusta was completed through to Kalgoorlie, making it a break-of-gauge station.
