Meekatharra–Wiluna railway
The Meekatharra to Wiluna railway was a 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.
== Overview ==
Construction began in the late 1920s, and the line operated between 1932 and 1957, mainly serving the Wiluna gold mining area.〔Montgomery, A. (1927) ''Report on the request of the Wiluna Gold Mines, Limited, for railway connection of Wiluna with the State railway system'' Perth : Govt. Printer.〕
However Wiluna was also at the end of the Canning Stock Route 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.
