The Westland

''The Westland'' was the name given in 1938 to the overnight train operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) with sitting and sleeping cars between Perth and Kalgoorlie, where it connected with the ''Trans-Australian'' service to Adelaide.
==History==
Following the opening of the Eastern Goldfields Railway to Kalgoorlie in December 1887, a service from Perth commenced. Although not named, it was often referred to as the ''Great Eastern Express'', ''Kalgoorlie Express'' or ''Kalgoorlie Passenger''.〔 at the cessation of the service in 1971, the ARHS pamphlet has (p.12) ''over the years the train has been named the Kalgoorlie Express, and in latter years The Kalgoorlie'', (and was locally known as the ''Kal'') see also and 〕
Following the opening of the Trans-Australian Railway in October 1917, its importance increased with the commencement of the ''Trans-Australian Express'' from Port Augusta in South Australia. By May 1921, a separate overnight express for interstate passengers and mail was introduced and this became the connecting train with the ''Trans-Australian Express''.
On 4 June 1938, the service was relaunched and renamed ''The Westlander'' with Pr class locomotives rostered.〔("Westland" enters service ) ''The West Australian'' 4 June 1938〕 It included sitting and sleeping cars (both first and second class). A dining car was attached between Perth and Northam where it was detached having served dinner on the eastbound service. It was then attached to the westbound service for breakfast. Refreshment rooms were also provided at major stations for passengers wishing to purchase cheaper snacks and drinks. World War II austerity measures saw the lounge cars removed until March 1946. On 28 March 1948, it was again relaunched with new AH class steel sleeping carriages with the other carriages refurbished.〔 This was to be the last improvement to the train, although the introduction of the X class diesel-electric locomotives in 1954 marginally reduced traveling time.
